Mimosa Flower Painting Class
Supply List & Inspo
Items to grab when setting up your painting space:
A pencil
Clean and flat area to paint
Water to clean brushes
Cloth or paper towels to dry brushes
Hair dryer for quicker drying
Painting Surface
Below are suggestions of painting surfaces. You do not need all of the options below. Just one surface is perfect! I will be using Canson Acrylic Paper for this project. It measures at 12.6” x 16.1”.
This is the paper i’ll be using in the class.
Paint Brushes*
Here’s a simple set that I came across on Amazon that has many sizes and at a great price.
You may also use any round brush you already have on hand. We will paint the majority of the piece with a medium sized round brush. Most of the small details will be made with paint pens.

For this class, I’m going to be using acrylic paint from my new paint line with Plaid. You may use whatever brand brand you wish/ have on hand!

The inspo behind the class
Mimosas are a bright sunshine-y plant that blooms during winter. Its’ yellow blooms add a sunny and warm pop of color during the cool winter months. This flower has traditionally been used to celebrate International Women’s Day because it represents strength, resilience and sensibility.
Here’s the sketch that we’ll be doing at the beginning of class, if you’d like to sketch out your piece in advance! I first lightly sketched with a pencil followed by a yellow posca pen.
