How to Create an Abstract Flower Painting

As some of you know, I have been doing a little mini update to my dining room.  I did some rearranging to the space and had a nice big open wall ready for something dramatic.  I knew I wanted to have some kind of abstract art, but didn’t know where to start.  Today, I am sharing with you how to create an abstract flower painting and the process of creating large paintings!

STEPS FOR CREATING Abstract Flower ART:
1.
Start by picking your paints.  I choose paint colors that are pulled from the new rug I have in our dining room.

2. Start creating large flower type leaf shapes in various colors.  I used a rosy pink and a vibrant coral paint for these.  Then add in dashes in a soft peach.

3. Create movement in your painting by adding in big swooshes of green.  I also added a big teal circular shape.

4. Continue to add in dashes and swooshes of green, as well as using your darkest color to create a dark focal point in the center of your floral art.

5. More dashes in other colors layered on top, adds more dimension.

6. I started to not like all the green, so I waited until it was semi dry and added a ton of white paint overtop.

Then I loved the look of just a LITTLE green peaking through the most white.

7. Lastly, I used a small circular sponge pounce and added in a few black polka dots.  They are right in the center area, helping to create that perfect balance of white space and focal point.

I am really pleased with how this art piece came together… it takes time to get it just right to your eye.  I had to stop many times and walk away to get perspective.

But after I would come back to it, I would get a new idea for layering more white to soften harsh lines or areas that were too saturated.
