Liquitex Acrylics: Floral Abstractions with Megan Jenstch
Liquitex Acrylics: Floral Abstractions with Megan Jenstch
Unlock the art of intentional seeing in this quick Floral Abstraction demonstration with Megan Jentsch. Designed for artists looking to break free from literal representation, this high-impact demonstration by Megan will show you how to use viewfinders to isolate sections of reference photos that speak to you and build upon the initial forms.
Megan is an encouraging art educator who will share her process and tips on composition and colour, enabling you to use your own references to create abstractions that push your creativity to new heights.

What’s included in a paid vs free event?
Paid events may include hands-on instruction, materials, and exclusive product offers. The details will be listed on the event page.
Free events may include a short, informative session led by an artist—perfect for picking up techniques, learning about materials, and sparking inspiration. You’re welcome to paint along, but it’s not required.
Will I get a recording if I miss an online event?
