I love this technique in that it is creating a suggestive image. In this case I chose to do some rounded brushstrokes that suggest a flower head, but I didn&#8217;t have any certain type in mind. It is not meant to be a botanical piece but rather expressive of something a person may recognize to be a type of flower they have once seen.<\/p>\n<p>I added in some dry brush strokes in green to create the image of leaves and veins &#8211; but again, they are all suggestive. I think this type of expression was by far the most fun of the class. It will be one technique that I continue to try and incorporate into projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s card features a technique called expressive florals.
