BIG AND BOLD BLOOMS

Service Description

THURSDAY, Nov. 6, 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM EST FRIDAY, Nov. 7, 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM EST (East Coast United States) LEVEL ALL COURSE DESCRIPTION This will be a fun class! We will be painting large florals, using 3 different brushes, experimenting and learning how to mix colors, how to choose palettes, and how to work with the water and paint together to achieve lovely blends of color. We will also be working with 3 different brushes. Each brush gives a unique stroke, and we will use that to paint different petal and leaf shapes. Fun, spontaneous brush strokes will help us achieve a light and loose painting. You will see how easy it is to successfully paint general floral shapes, including wild roses, peonies and sunflowers. The class is perfect for beginners who want to learn some basic watercolor techniques, or experienced artists who want to loosen and free up their style.
