Discover the delicate beauty of flowers through the vibrant and expressive medium of watercolor. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn essential techniques for painting florals, including wet-on-wet, layering transparent washes, and capturing petal and leaf shapes with values and chroma.
Perfect for beginners and intermediate artists alike, this class will guide you step-by-step. We'll explore a variety of flowers such as roses, peonies, wildflowers, and greenery, with an emphasis on color harmony and composition.
By the end of the lesson, you’ll have your own finished floral watercolor painting and the confidence to continue painting your own botanical creations.
About 30 days before the event, you will receive images from BWS which Karen will use for the class. The base drawing must be completed on the watercolor paper before the workshop begins.
All registered participants will be sent the Zoom link before the demonstration.
Registered participants will have access to the video for 3 months.
