Thank you - such fun! I also like to work with "dirty water." I'll keep old water, which is in different shades depending on what you're using for paints, or I'll mix it fresh, and pour it onto the canvas, then let it sit overnight. It creates all these unique shapes and blends.
Wow. That’s an interesting idea!
Do you have a TH-cam video? Great idea you have with the paint water
I absolutely love your work and methods. Seeing you makes me think about how proud your mother was of you. You are such an inspiration.
This is wonderful Flora!!!! Thank you for your inspiration, encouragement and generosity in sharing!
Thank you Flora...it’s nice that you showed us how you start your paintings. I just love your work😃
Flora I have been following you for a while now and you continue to inspire me. I enjoy abstract and mixed media and you cover both with your tutorial,s for me to expand my ideas to flow.
I love your technices, thanks very much for sharing the startings!! I paint for more than 20 years, and also paint sometimes with music on, but never used the music at the start, love it!!!
Thank you for sharing this Flora!💜
Love how you do what you do.....trying to understand the intuitive process...started late in life with being creative..very very mind elevating..love colors..thank you ! You Tube has been my instructure !
This video inspired me on many levels! Thank YOu! I'm definitely gonna give these techniques a go!
I agree with Julia although she wrote her comment two years ago, but I loved this video. Thank you so much Flora. I am really getting into more abstract art and it is TRULY FREEING. Thanks again!
Just found this clip Flora - thank you so much. I love your painting style. Your work is drop dead gorgeous. Cheers, DEB T
Thanks for these suggestions. I was already doing the final one, but on a much smaller scale (junk journal covers, collages etc.). I can't wait to try the others!
I've been painting for about 24 years and it's good to get back to some basics. This helps me to clear the visual palette and begin again with the joy of a child.
Hi Julia, this makes me happy to hear! Yes to getting back to the childlike joy that comes from playing in the paint! xo Flora
Fab video...such diversity and playful encouragement!
how inspiring! Im definitely going to try every one of these beginnings!
Hello Flora, Thank you so much for this free mini lesson. I appreciate this gift. Bought your first book in 2013 and immediately fell in love with your style, process, and philosophy. I made a mental note to study with you; but too many distractions kept me away from this pursuit. Then last week, I came across information about your 2nd book. I immediately bought it. I've been sitting on this book for a few days, wondering how I could start to paint in your style. The universe must have heard my inner dialog, and tonight, it brought me a gift - this video on TH-cam, which just popped up on my screen (I was watching another artist doing Layering with acrylics.) I am very grateful and very happy to have received this video with information on how to get started. Really appreciate you sharing your talent freely. I hope someday I have the opportunity to take a class from you in person. Till then, I'll be following your Studio Diaries online. Thank You, Namaste. :-) tina
Flora u are an inspiring artist. Thank u 🙆🏻♀️🙆♂️
"I'll Fly Away" is an old gospel song. Love it. Great video.

You are so welcome!
Thanks for the reminder to paint at different speeds.

💕💥💕
You are so welcome!
Great work ...and very nice music
I let the song direct my whole painting yesterday, it was enya, before I ever heard of this video or knew anything of you.I think it’s the best method, frees you up so much. I made such a great abstract/intuitive painting that way. I feel absolutely seen looking at your books and videos tonite, someone understands how I do things.
I'm so happy to hear!
Nice video, love the song also. good energy.
Thanks! Happy painting~ xo Flora
Thanks for inspiring me to let go....❤️
Happy to inspire! Let Go ~ Be Bold ~ Unfold! xo Flora
No wonder your name is Flora..you show people how to grow like a beautiful flower they are inside. So fun to see the end of all the versions..that is what I do too. Bless you angel lady!
Really great video! Especially for people like me that are full of fear of the canvas. Thank you!
Thank you Tess, so glad you enjoyed this video! Hope you're able to shake the fears and use some of these tips to get you going! xo Flora
You give me hope!
Omg, so appreciatetive of your tips. You are a wonder to behold 🙌
Thanks for being here!
Would love to see how they all ended up. Thank you for the ideas 😊
I so love your work and your methods, Flora, you're inspirational. I just love watching your 'flow' Do you sand your canvas? 🤔 However, my paints don't seem to flow like yours and retain their colour. Do I really need to spend out on Golden paints? I'm using Daler rowney and similar, mixed with fluid medium sometimes. Where am I going wrong?
Let it goooo! Let it gooo!! I see brushes everywhere I go-o-oo!!!
I always learn something from Flora. I’ve watched her videos for several years.
Thank you for your support!
Thanks for sharing this. 😊
That was a great tutorial. I've just subscribed :-). Please do more.
Muy simpática flora me gusta mucho tu trabajo saludos flora mucho éxito
Hi Flora. I love 💕love. How u paint. Your techniques nd so freely nd beautiful colourful it turns out ... do u gesso the canvas before u start or raw canvas ... u said u use acrylics fluid .. any medium added
I love it! And you! How fun!
Thank you! 😃
Thank you Flora🌞
You are so welcome
Super enjoyed!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful video and great suggestions. What colors do you use to paint the edges?
I like it!! Good exercise ideas for getting started! Thanks!
Thanks for being here!
I’m new to painting and this helped me 🥰✌🏼
It's a joy to watch you work. I have always wondered how canvases are affixed to the wall to allow painting for large pieces. It seems very stable. Is there a trick (hopefully this is not a silly question - I am coming back to painting from many years away).
This is wonderful to see. It brings joy , no fear. And you are a very beautiful woman too. :)
This is what I need since I have not done anything for long time .🙂
you had me at Rising Appalachia. Great and inspiring video.
Love them!
thankyou so much
Thank you for sharing these little tutorials with us!! I am in the middle of watching your creative bug tutorial - so much fun! Can I ask what the turquoise looking fluid colour is called, that you used on your last canvas?? I must have it - such a vibrant blue! love it!
So happy you're enjoying them! I think the turquoise hue you're referring to is Golden Turquois (Phthalo) or the blue hue I love is Golden Prussian Blue. I hope that helps! xo flora
Thank you :)
I love the idea of working with your fingers and hands. I've been reluctant to do this on a regular basis so with Invisible Care that will be helpful. Where can I find this? I have an amazing skin technology product that is good for dry and chapped skin, as afterwards, but Invisible Care sounds like the perfect product to use before. You can abandon your hands to the paint and movement. Wonderful.
Hi Eileen, Invisible Care can be found at DickBlick.com - Dick Blick Art Materials. Happy Painting~ xo Flora
I love these and plan to try them. Just curious, how do you then proceed?

hi there what paints are you using? they look quite the funky! haha
I love your work so much Flora. I'm an intuitive artist too and I'm learning a lot from your videos and looking at your art. I hope to really meet you one day!
Hello Guada! I mount the canvas on the wall with two screws, or you could use nails. For my palette, I actually just put a large piece of glass right on top of a table! It works great:) I hope that helps! xo flora
I love the first song....which Band is this?
Thank you
Your pictures are great!!!!
Hi Karin, glad you like it, me too! It's called, 'I'll Fly Away' by Rising Appalachia. xo Flora
Thankyou
Hi Flora, I was wondering what kind of paints you use? Are they acrylics? I've just discovered your website and everything, haven't tried intuitive painting yet but very keen to give it a go, you're very inspiring, thanks for posting these vids :)
Yep they're acrylics! So happy that you're enjoying the videos--there are more freebies on my website too! Click here: florabowley.com/diaries/sample-studio-diary/ xo flora
I have a new album tonight

hello Flora thanks a lot for your transmision. can toi translate tours videos in french please? ? ans is it possible to translate your lessons by month too? ? thank you very much Amandine
Hi Flora.... I know you like to use your fingers alot when you paint... do you ever have any trouble with the chemicals in the paint.. ? I don't see you use rubber gloves.... but do you use that lotion Art Guard i think its called... does it work??? I would love to paint with my fingers but am worried about it............Hugs! deb
Hi Deb! I always use 'Invisible Care' before I begin a painting, so if I feel like using my hands in the moment, I'm protected:) xo flora
Hi Flora! I love your work!! So much!
Hi Erica,
Thanks for writing! I understand your need and would like to accommodate. Right now we are building an e-course which takes up much of my time. I will make a note to look into future options for subtitles. Sending love! xo Flora
thank you so much!!
Flora Bowley Hi Flora! Your style has all my attention! That is the attitude i like in respect to art, a natural flow! Do you have classes on line? If so let me have information regarding this. Your answer is appeciated! Thanks from Puerto Rico!

I really hate the term "mark making". Not exactly sure why. Love this video tho!
You are my kind of artist. This is the way I paint and have for a long time. And, strangely, you and I could be sisters. LOL Similar look. Tribal? Hmmmmmm...
