of "flower flow"
“Flower Flow is such a fun, happy and joy-filled class! It is impossible not to feel inspired and creative as Laly takes you through each lesson. Each section is very unique and individual with many different techniques and styles. One of my very favorite classes ever!! ”
Every lesson in Flower Flow starts with a warm-up activity where we create a series of mini studies. To me (and the students seem to agree!) it’s so useful to start by exploring a technique, a theme or a color palette at a smaller scale, and on multiple substrates. It takes the pressure off and as a result, these mini artworks often turn out really lovely!
“Flower Flow really took me out of my comfort zone. I went from never painting a flower before to a literal garden of work around my studio. I absolutely loved the warm up lessons as inspiration and even framed a few of my mini series. I completed every single exercise and painting in Flower Flow - I did not want it to end!”
Once you’re all warmed up and inspired, it’s time to take the next step and move on to a bigger canvas! Flowers are such a forgiving subject, perfect to try new things and a whole variety of styles. Including some vintage inspiration!
“Flower Flow has taught me to trust the intuitive process of my art. From messy sketches made with my non-dominant hand to a beautiful canvas I am proud to display in my home. Each layer holds its own beauty, your techniques have given me confidence in expression rather than perfection. I love the feeling when a mistake becomes a beautiful part of of the finished piece.”
“I had never painted flowers before this class and Laly’s instruction made it simple and beautiful. I love the rich textures and layers of color in Laly’s work. Her techniques have definitely increased my ability to make beautiful art.”
“I’m in a place of peace and pleasure as I look at my completed Rainbow Meadow. Each step during this creative process, I’d walk away and come back in to look at it, add something, cover over something, touch up paints... then on to the next step. Moments when I was unsure and hesitant with a brush or piece of collage or color of paint, then watching your videos again and finding a creative solution. Learning how to step back, relax, experiment and not rush the process, pulling in what made me happy.”
“I am proud of the “mistakes” that shifted my mindset and moved me to discover my own style. With Flower Flow, seeds of hope were planted. I began nurturing my process daily and gradually, I began to look at my efforts with satisfaction. Embracing the process and getting lost in a journey of self discovery has brought me great joy.”
“This was my first venture onto canvas instead of an art journal and it was terrifying and WONDERFUL! I kept a vase with blushing pink roses on my desk the whole time to inspire me. Thank you Laly!”
When I see all these beautiful artworks, it makes me even more excited to welcome new students in Flower Flow. I would love for you to be part of it! We’re going to have so much fun, and I cannot wait to see more and more painterly flowers bloom all over the world!
“Your classes make me grow in artistic maturity, the sense of intuitively feeling my art tools, enjoying my fingers and letting them tell their own story from the heart. You give us endless possibilities.”
Maybe painting something as simple as flowers can help us grow what our world most needs: love, light, joy, beauty, kindness, inspiration, healing and harmony with the natural world. So let’s keep painting, let’s cultivate all these good vibes right there on our canvas, and let’s keep sharing them with the world!
