Let Go of Perfection: Embrace the Imperfect with Expressive Floral Painting

In this video, we explore how embracing imperfection can lead to more expressive, emotionally resonant artwork. I’ll walk through one of my processes for creating a loose floral painting using acrylics, intuitive mark-making, and a layered abstract base.

We start with a rich underpainting using Prussian blue and ultramarine blue, then layer on a soft blend of Naples yellow and titanium white to build contrast and atmosphere. From there, we play with Mars black, a stick for expressive marks, and semi-transparent greens to create a loose composition filled with texture, energy, and depth.

This expressive floral painting demo is all about trusting the process, letting go of control, and learning to see beauty in the unexpected. We’re not painting perfect flowers—we’re layering light over shadow, softness over structure, and allowing form to emerge through feeling, not formulas.

Expressive florals offer us the chance to experiment with color, explore emotional storytelling, and stay present in the moment. Whether you’re new to intuitive painting or looking for fresh inspiration, this process is a reminder that our personal style grows not from perfection—but from exploration.

If you enjoy intuitive painting, expressive floral art, or abstract techniques that focus on process over perfection, give this video a thumbs up and consider subscribing for more.

And remember, keep on painting!
