Paint Blooms That Are Bigger Than Life

Are you prepared to GO BIG? Every year, I teach a mini-course in which I make some huge works and show you through my process. This year, I wanted to create a large graphic bloom. Join me as I walk you through the whole process of making this large-scale flower artwork. Playing Big has always been about pushing creative limits. And this course is no exception. Tons of useful advice for making your work a success!!! There are almost 3 hours of video content.
