How to Create an Abstract Floral

Join this in-person class led by Constantino Milan, for an immersive class inspired by the signature abstract floral process taught at Milan Art Institute. In this live studio experience, you’ll move beyond step-by-step imitation and into a dynamic painting method that balances structure with spontaneity. Constantino demonstrates how to begin with an expressive acrylic underpainting, build intentional composition, and gradually develop floral forms that emerge from abstraction rather than being rigidly outlined from the start.

Throughout the session, you’ll explore intuitive color mixing, layered mark-making, and the interplay between loose gesture and refined detail. With direct, personalized guidance, you’ll learn how to create depth, movement, and cohesion without overworking your surface. The focus is not only on technique, but on decision-making—understanding when to add, when to simplify, and how to let the painting retain its energy.

By the end of the class, you’ll complete your own abstract floral painting and leave with a clearer understanding of how to approach future work with greater confidence and clarity. This class is open to all skill levels and is designed for artists who want to expand their visual language while developing a more intentional and expressive painting process.
