Abstract Roses
Ginger discusses the difference between student grade and professional acrylics in this dynamic step by step abstract floral video.
Painting an abstract with acrylics allows for more artistic expressions by the painter. Artist tape is used to get straight lines and modeling paste is used for texture.
Painted on an 8x10 canvas, this 2-Cookie lesson is available for free on YouTube.

Pink Roses in a Green Vase - Challenge Painting
The "Pink Roses in a Green Vase" acrylic painting challenge is an exciting opportunity for students who are comfortable painting the "3-Cookie" tutorials to showcase their skills and creativity. This challenge requires the use of acrylic paints to create a beautiful still-life painting of pink roses arranged in a green vase. Participants will need to use their knowledge of color mixing, brush techniques, and composition to bring this floral scene to life on canvas.
To complete this challenge, students will need to carefully study the reference image provided, paying close attention to the shapes, colors, and values of the roses and vase. They will then need to mix their paints to match these colors and use a variety of brush strokes to capture the texture and form of the flowers and foliage. With patience, practice, and a little bit of experimentation, students will be able to create a stunning painting that showcases their talents and dedication to the art of acrylic painting. Upon successful completion of the challenge, they will receive a certificate of achievement, recognizing their hard work and artistic abilities.
Join Ginger for this 11x14 3-Cookie tutorial for our Red, Pink, and Purple Members.

"I have been blessed to learn from Ginger for several years, and I consider her to be the best at teaching acrylics, and Jon is just the icing on the cake, so to speak. I love painting and have missed it the past few months, but family is always first here. I hope to be painting more in the future as things settle down. Thanks for all your support (Facebook private clubhouse members) that you have offered thru the years, and lots of Art Hugs to you all."
