Learn to paint gorgeous fresh flowers with lovely, luminescent color!!  This workshop offers the opportunity to learn concepts and practice skills that make painting flowers an absolute pleasure. Enjoy the excitement of discovering how to:

 

-mix beautiful, accurate color

-keep values true and natural

-maintain lovely hues in light and shadow areas

-quickly recognize basic forms of a variety of flowers

-choose specific brushwork to create lifelike blooms 

-achieve accurate, interesting edges 

-incorporate gorgeous translucency for both petals and foliage

 

There will be assorted color mixing demos as well as daily painting demonstrations of assorted garden flowers, including roses and hydrangeas. Each of the demos is thoughtfully paired with core lessons and concepts. The afternoons include plenty of one-on-one assistance as participants practice what they are learning through the completion of valuable guided exercises and by painting their own fresh flower set ups. 

 

Note: All paints are provided by the instructor for the color portion of the workshop.  A full supply list is sent to each participant upon registration and payment of tuition.
