Paint florals with a palette knife and gold leaf in this beginner-friendly, in-person Toronto class. Use fall colours to create a vibrance.About this Event
Join this in-person autumn flower painting class, designed for beginners and open to the general public.
Enjoy a relaxing, creative morning painting a rich autumn bouquet in warm oranges, deep reds, burgundy and golden yellow. Use a palette knife—the tool professional artists use to build thick, raised texture—to shape bold, sculpted petals full of movement. Finish your painting with real gold leaf accents for an elegant, gallery-style look, and take home a finished canvas you’ll be proud to hang.
No experience is needed. Your instructor paints live alongside you, guiding the class step by step and helping with colours, knife strokes and details. Many students are surprised by what they create in their first class.
