Learn to paint loose and expressive poppy flowers in acrylics and mixed media. We'll use several painting techniques such as layering and mixed media mark-making.
Join me in todays video where I'll paint a loose and abstract painting of poppies in acrylics with mixed media details. I love flowers and poppies are some of my favorites. Poppy flowers are both fragile and strong at the same time - and they usually only last for a day - at least where I live I northern Denmark. If you pick them and take them inside they petals will fall off. So to make them last longer I like to paint them. Another way to make the beauty and joy last longer is to - and I LOVE THIS - cut out these small paintings and use them as cards or postcards…. Some of my students have commented that these floral paintings remind them of art by Walasse Ting or Marc Chagall - and I'm honored that they think so.
Use the materials you have or see the specific materials and colors I used listed below.
Materials:
Paper: Watercolor paper 300gms/140lb Canson.
Acrylic colors: Titanium White, ivory black, Bright green, yellow ochre, Quinacridone Crimson, wedgewood blue (light grayish blue).
Watercolor pencils/pastels/crayons: Woody by Stabilo Red, Black and Green.
Additional materials: paper towels, masking tape, various brushes.

Remarkable how such a relaxed approach produces the very essence of the poppies!
The opaque blue really added a lot!!!
Well darn it, I guess I might have to have a go at painting flowers now.
Oh Marie Louise, this video had me entranced! I was called out and had to stop it half way much to my annoyance. 😞 ... but I have now viewed the whole video... I like your free brush strokes, the colours, the beautiful poppies have come alive. I do enjoy watching all your videos, I find them very helpful, thank you for sharing your painting knowledge, it's very much appreciated!
Thank you, Marie Louis, for all the tips you sharing!
Thankyou so much, I have a great deal of trouble painting loosely, looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
I need to loosen up my brush-work. I tend to overwork my paintings, also. I hope I win one of your lovely postcard paintings! 😊
Excellent demonstration!
Always a pleasure to view your videos. Inspirational.
LOVE!!!
lovely painting as usual - many thanks for all your insights. i am trying out loose acrylic landscapes for the first time using your videos.
Thanks for your time
It's not long since I've found your paintings and to me it's like finding my direction. To distant myself from getting bugged down on details. I've been trying for long but not knowing how.
I mainly paint in watercolour but your paintings inspire me to paint more in acrylic. I'm learning from your demonstrations how to paint in free and loose way which is very enjoyable. Appreciate your generosity and help. I'd like to see more flower paintings from you. Nahid from Liverpool
These are stunning i can't wait to try it out. Tgsnk you for sharing
Thank you I’m definitely going to be doing this in the future.
Thank you for this video.
From Van Gogh and Monet to modern times these beautiful flowers have caught the imagination of artists.
Very much appreciated. 🙂👍

Another lovely relaxing 15 minutes, I always feel inspired after watching these videos Marie Louise thank you👍
I struggle not only with trying to paint loose, but from adding too much detail. Your tip on stepping back and observing the painting for a while is a great idea! I will try it today. Thank you for your generous spirit 😊❤
I really enjoy your approach to painting loosely while maintaining the basic elements and principles of design. The layers of color give the images a vibrants that makes me want to revisit the finished works again and again.

Another excellent demonstration and beautiful painting. High quality production! Thank you. Kate Coleman, Santa Fe
They’re beautiful! I was so happy to see a new video from you!
I really appreciate your way to paint and to explain the way. And I must learn to stop before starting the details 😂
Hello thank you for sharing your journey into loose expressive painting .. may i ask what brand of Acrylics do you use and how is the integrity holding up to the use of lots of water or does the mopping up of the dampness allow the integrity of the paints to hold up .. thank you in advance ?
Lovely, lovely paintings Marie Louise 🥰. You teach such transferable skills, both in staying loose in all styles of painting but in life, you teach appreciation, thoughtfulness, and kindness. Thank you for sharing 💕
You are so kind Teresa, thank you 🥰
Brilliant Marie Louise. I've saved this to my favourite folder - it's worth watching multiple times. I especially am intrigued by how you limit your palette and your approach to mixing to achieve depth and interest. Thank you for sharing this. It's a tremendous reminder to play and enjoy the process.
I so much enjoy your videos and am working to loosen up NY painting as a former instructor told me I was too fastidious. I would love to receive one of your warm up paintings. Roger langer, 201 orange grove dr.#8, Ormond Beach FL. 32174

Hello from Portland, Oregon. I also struggle to paint loosely. You are a very talented and wonderful instructor. I absolutely love your loose painting videos. Thank you. 🌺
I love poppies 🥰 Thank you for sharing these lovely tuturials and ideas 🌺🌺🌺
Thank you! An effective, relaxing, and beautiful way to warm up!
Also I was wondering if any of your work from your detailed, more realistic phase are viewable anywhere? I'm curious to see the difference as I'm on the journey from realism to abstract myself. Thank you!
Could not wait for you to take the tape off! Wonderful surprise ! I needed this video since I was raised very structured and have a difficult time to try to paint in an abstract way! I will try ( with my left hand may be? ) to loosen up. Loved your ideas and all your paintings. Thank you so much. Looking forward to your next video.
Loved this video, thank you for sharing your tips to paint more expressively! Your poppy paintings are so beautiful! I would love to have one here in Australia!
what a great way to loosen up. Yea!!!
Another fun video and thank you for it. I would love a poppy painting. Much love from Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Another great video. For a while I just gave up painting and moved to other craft activities but having watched the video I am inspired to go again. I need to find my “inner child” and just play and make marks and see what happens. Thank you.
Love the video. I always find them inspiring. Thank you
I discovered u yesterday! U are exactly the inspiration I seek at the moment to loosen up my style. Thanks so much for all u do. 💜💜💜
The addition of cool colours added a surprising amount of interest. I liked the rough look for the poppies using the big brush.
Thank you for sharing your art. I feel very lucky to have found you. When I grow up, I want to be an artist like you.
Gracias
Wonderful and beautiful. Just the type of painting style I love to do. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hello Mary Louise, I can only hope that someday I can get my paintings as professional and as loose as yours. Yes, Please I would love an original. Best Wishes.
Hi Marie-Louise very nice video and beautiful art work! Many greetings fm Milano. By. Erri
MLE,
Every video teaches me something new and reminds me to paint loose and freely!
Cheers from me here...
Another truly inspiring video, Marie Louise. Thank you!
Love your free and flowing mind set for abstract work . I would love one of your little pieces and I would return you with one of mine. Cheers Grant
I love poppies and feel more confident painting them now. Would love your painting!
Lovely! Thanks for sharing this. A good reminder of keeping it loose and simple - and turns out great!
Wonderful work!! Please enter me into the drawing for one of these poppie paintings! Thanks!
Great video. I think I will paint a few flowers tomorrow. Thank You!!
Another great video. Your videos are so useful for those of us who are trying to loosen up our approach to landscape painting. Thank you for presenting this flower painting video as well.
My granddaughter's name is Poppy!
Very interesting and very nice poopy flowers!!!🙏💛🧡💚💛
Lovely. Thank you, Marie Louise - I always feel I learn so much from your videos.
Lovely & inspiring. Painting again after years and years, I appreciate the tips as I find my “zone”.
A wonderful exercise for warming up. It really shows how you can capture the essence of the flower with very few strokes.
Love your abstract and the process 😎😎😎😎
I would absolutely love to have one of these paintings. I'm really enjoying all of your videos
Viewing this video was visceral. I laughed out loud when you said you were working in real time, not sped up. 😂
Your videos are always an inspiration. Thank you. For me the battle to paint more freely goes on.
Mary Louise- these are lovely! Thank you for sharing your thoughts too- it is so helpful especially as a newer artist.
Very beautiful❣It works well to make a serie of flowers, i also do this often. I want to send you a card of my work, what is your adress? 🤠
Love watching your videos and this one was no different Definitely going to try to add this to my poppy paintings 😀
Nor has mine. You give me reassurance. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the free guide. I would love to receive your poppy painting.
I would love to have one of your poppy paintings. Beautiful.
How lovely, light and freeing! thank you
When you took the tape off. Wham! I thought would t they be good Christmas cards.
Awoo, so mesmerizing loosen up painting, well done my friend 👌👏
Loved this, will have to give this a try.
Wonderful poppies and very inspiring as always!
What a pleasure to see you play so spontaneously with paint. Inspirational Thanks.
❤ what fun! I can’t wait to try this technique! Thank you!
I would love to have one of these beautiful paintings! 😍
I love your painting style and look forward to every new video.🌺
Hi 👋 I would like one of your poppy paintings
Kaere Marie, jeg er fascineret auf din kunst- din malproces er imponerende, mange tak for denne inspiration. Kaerlig hilsner Heike
Brilliant!! I love your work!!
Love the video thanks for sharing it ❤️
Thank you again for your generous sharing of your great skill and knowledge. After painting the Daisies today, and having learned so much from that session, I plan to attempt the poppies tomorrow. Thank you so much Louise for your kind and generous teaching.
My pleasure Betty. Hopefully you’re having a great time painting poppies 💐
Oh, how nice it would be to receive one of these 🤞🏻
Awesome! Love how that's done. =)
Hi Marie Louise! You know I have such a weakness for poppies! It's the flower that I used for my first try at drawing 5 or 6 yrs ago... I love everything about them. Maybe because I like to draw and paint things in a sort of...messy or imperfect way, not sure how to say it. Anyway, these came out so cute! And snail mail is such an under rated form of communication :) I love painting, writing and sending cards that way... just something about it :)
But, another great video and reminders to not over think... I have such a hard time with that part, as do so many obviously! I talk myself out of something I'd previously been super excited to paint by overthinking. Always a struggle :)
I hope you're doing well my friend!!🥰
Yes thank you and you too 🥰
Ooooh I’d love a painting 😁
Hi Marie Louise, this is a fun warm up exercise, thank you! What is your thinking behind painting the poppies first and the background second? I'm guessing that you wanted to have the white of the paper show through the poppies without having to use what to achieve the light red, but I'd love to hear your strategy. Thank you!
Yes that was my strategy exactly
I so look forward to receiving your weekly emails. I’ve been I’ll for the past month and unable to paint but your poppy video sparked to get painting again. Thank you.
I hope you feel better soon 🥰
Marie Louise I just loved watching you do that all so loosely, especially that pencil. I also love the idea of sectioning off my paper so I can fit it in an envelope for cards for friends. I often make book marks out of old paintings too and punch a hole in one end and put some embroidery thread through it. Many thanks.
Great ideas, Jen- thanks for sharing 🌻
Veldig inspirerende maleeksempler - jeg jobber også aktivt for å løse opp. Og du er kunnskapsrik og inpirerende. Jeg har naturligvis veldig lyst på en valmue - men først og fremst kunnskap om å male slik at hjernen fyller ut bildet. Mvh. Mette
This video has inspired me to stop thinking so much about real shapes and just let colours take over. I will definitely be practising this way thank you so much
Sounds great 🎨
Thank you for all your amazing videos! I just found you today and have already learned so much!❤❤❤
My pleasure🥰
Thank you. Beautiful
Could it be done in water colors which I am trying to teach myself?
Yes you could definitely give it a try with watercolour 🎨
THANKS FOR THE DEMO!!
I love watching you paint. It is thrilling how your loose marks turn into something so beautiful.
Thank you Gerry!
