Finally feel confident painting from photo references—without getting lost in the details.
A 90-minute workshop to help you choose the right reference, simplify what you see, and create florals that flow from photo to brush.
Start Painting Without a Formula →
No Formula Florals 3.0
You want to paint from a reference photo.
You want to paint from a reference photo.
One you took. One you love.
You want to look at that flower and know how to bring it to life on the page.
But instead…
You stare at the photo and feel overwhelmed.
You can’t “unsee” the details. You freeze unsure where to start or how to simplify what you see.
So you go back to painting from memory… or another tutorial… or the same flower you’ve painted a dozen times before.
The problem isn’t that references are too hard.
It’s that no one ever taught you how to choose the right ones.
Most artists use photos meant for realism:
- packed with tiny shadows, soft edges, and way too many layers.
It’s no wonder it feels impossible to simplify. Those images were never meant for loose florals.
But when you learn how to select a reference that actually works for you:
when you stop naming the flower and start looking for shapes and patterns.
Everything changes.
You stop trying to “get it right.”
You start seeing the structure behind the bloom.
After doing two 100-day projects where I painted from floral references, here’s what I wish someone had told me:
And suddenly, you feel in control. You can unsee the noise.
You can simplify and paint from what you see, not from what you remember.
That’s the shift that this workshop will give you.
Yes, I’m Ready to Paint from My Own Photos →
This could be you:
You flip through your own photos and spot the perfect bloom.
You don’t hesitate and know what to look for.
You see the angles, the gesture, the shape.
You sketch the flower loosely.
You paint it freely. You stop guessing and start translating.
That’s the moment your reference becomes your own.

Still waiting until you “feel ready”?

Scrolling your camera roll, feeling stuck.
Trying to trace or copy, hoping it’ll somehow feel like your own.
But the shift doesn’t happen from following steps.
It happens when you learn how to see.
And once you do — painting from reference becomes second nature.
