I wanted to explore a different style to my usual highly detailed photorealistic paintings.
This is the first painting in the Alternative Style Category. I often admire loosely painted artworks and I’ve decided to integrate this style into one of my lessons, providing a unique challenge!
Although this painting is representational, depicting flowers, it isn’t intended to be photorealistic. We don’t need to worry too much about the fine details, or the accuracy of colours, and brush techniques are generally limited.
This tutorial enables you to create a painting with as much fun & freedom as possible. You'll have a classical work of art to be proud of in no time at all!
