The Course
In this class I will share insights and best practices for producing expressive watercolours, including clearing the headspace for flowing florals. Along with playful exercises we will shift our attention from the need to portray accurate depictions, instead simplifying down to capture the essence of your flower.
What you will learn
The guiding principles I present like shape, value and colour mixing tips can be applied easily to any subject matter you decide to paint, and still achieve the same spontaneous results.
Big brushes and vibrant colours can take centre stage in this approach along with bolder contrasts and descriptive ink line. There are three full length floral demonstrations in which I take you through my entire process.
The warm up exercises include
Shape studies
Values studies
Color mixing
Inking studies
Intuitive
