CLASS DESCRIPTION
If you’ve ever voiced the statement “I just want to paint flowers”, then this expressive watercolor painting workshop is the perfect choice to nurture that desire! Loosen up, leave your inner critic at home and come paint beautiful dramatic petals and blooms full of impressionistic, abstract and vivid imagery. Learn simple brush strokes to master your own natural movements to render petals, stems and leaf shapes and to create dramatic, bold florals. We’ll paint very loose and expressive to make flower images that come alive with simple brushwork and rich, vibrant color. Explore creative techniques for adding surprising textures to background washes and color stories as you experiment with process techniques and ideas.
