Florals look complicated until you see them as shapes and gestures, not petals and leaves. This workshop is all about changing that.Learn how to take any flower - a photo, a bloom on your desk, whatever catches your eye and break it down into the simple shapes and brushstrokes that read as a flower, without painting every detail. This hands-on session covers the techniques for turning a reference into a loose, confident floral painting of your own.
You'll get a chance to practice the techniques in class and ask questions as we go.
We'll cover the following:
Breaking a flower down into simple shapes and gestures
- Brushstrokes for petals, leaves and stems
- Wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques for soft and crisp edges
- Layering and building up a bloom
- Using a reference as a starting point, not a template to copy
- Practice some common flowers as a starting point (lavender, daisies, leafy stem, coneflowers, etc)
All levels welcome and materials included.
Only 10 spots available so I can give students individual attention
