Flower Garden - Swipe and Balloon Kiss - inspired by @gillykubeart

Hey Everyone! Thank you for being here today. I’be been inspired by the very talented @gillykubeart

Today’s piece is inspired by: Gilly’s techniques to create my very own abstract flower garden.

Technique used: swipe and balloon smash

What I learnt: sometimes it’s all about experiment, pushing outside of your comfort zone and having fun!

Colour palette: a range of free flow acrylic paints.

I love the dark colors with the vibrant ones. What a colorful piece with so much movement. Very nice Mark ‼️

Wow! This is beautiful. I love the purple and pinks at the top especially, and the brightness of the yellows and greens. It’s amazing how the colors don’t get muddy.

Hey Mark, I also love Gilly .and she must be very proud of you . The colors are simply beautiful .When you say you had fun creating with all the lines you added, I can totally relate . When I use my Catalyst Wedge I just cannot stop myself, It's very addictive . Great job on that beautiful Garden 😍😍
