Enchanted Forest with Lindsay King Smith

In this short and sweet painting tutorial, you’ll get a feel for my colorful, layered approach to floral art—with a touch of magic. Think of this session as a playful warm-up, where we dip our toes into the world of fairytales while experimenting with intuitive brushwork, mixed media, and a bit of creative looseness.I’ll guide you step-by-step through a dreamy floral piece inspired by storybook settings and secret gardens, using some of my favorite tools like acrylics, pastels, and paint pens. Along the way, you’ll get a taste of how I work—messy in the best way, open to surprises, and always chasing emotion over perfection.Whether you’re brand new to painting or just looking for a spark of inspiration, this teaser session is designed to help you loosen up, trust your instincts, and start seeing florals as a way to tell stories.

About Lindsay King Smith:

Lindsay is an abstract floral artist and painting instructor based on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where salt air and wild blooms shape much of her work. She creates with acrylics, pastels, and mixed media, often layering paint over handwritten intentions, and chaos layers. Her signature style is colorful, textured, and emotionally honest—equal parts chaos and charm.

As a mother of three and lifelong daydreamer, Lindsay’s work often straddles the real and the imagined. She finds beauty in fleeting moments and brings a sense of story to her florals, as if each bloom has a secret. For this collaboration, she’s sharing a whimsical, fairytale-inspired floral piece—an invitation to loosen up, play, and reconnect with your inner creative spirit.

When she’s not painting, Lindsay hosts weekly paint-alongs, teaches online classes, and shares her artistic process through sketchbooks, Substack, and slow studio days. Her goal is simple: to help others fall in love with making art in a way that feels personal, joyful, and real.
