Description
Join me with this step-by-step floral painting, learning essential watercolor techniques in a fun and relaxed style! With this class I wanted to demonstrate all of my favourite techniques and methods to painting expressive flowers. I'd love to see your interpretations and projects on this. Anyone, including beginners, will learn a lot about watercolour in this class. This is a great exercise for learning watercolour as it's a fun way to experiment and explore new techniques. Don't be intimidated if you're a beginner, this painting is adaptable to be simplified. I added all the small details for anyone wanting to take it all the way, but it's not necessary.
I'm very grateful for you joining me here!
I've been painting for many years now, taken part in many exhibitions around the world and won awards from well respected organisations. As well as having my work feature in art magazines. After having success selling my originals and 1000s of prints around the world, I decided to start traveling with my brushes and paintings. My style is modern and attempts to grasp the essence of what I'm painting whilst allowing freedom and expression to come through. I simplify complicated subjects into easier shapes that encourages playfulness.
In my other classes I go over many different techniques of watercolour. However today I will keep it simple by giving you basic instruction which will allow you to experiment at your on pace.
You'll Learn
What materials and equipment to need to painting along
How to sketch out outline for the painting
Basic technique to complete your first painting
How to avoid common mistakes
Choosing the right colors for your painting

When enrolled, I'll include my complete 'Watercolor Mixing Charts'. These are a huge aid for beginners and experts alike. They show what every color on the palette looks like when mixed with each other. Indispensable when it comes to choosing which color to mix.
