CLASS DESCRIPTION:

The Freedom of Expression. This is the powerful, yet simple truth we explore as artists when we put paint to canvas. In this workshop, you will learn to develop a strong composition, loosen your brushwork, how and when to load up your brush with paint and use value to develop dramatic juxtapositions of shadow and light.

In my own artistic journey, flowers have represented freedom. This course was developed to share how painting flowers comes without boundaries! Artists are allowed to paint in all shapes and sizes and an infinite amount of colors. Paint them with a bit of whimsy, exaggerate the lean of the stems or add a fallen bloom resting beside the vase (a little something I commonly add into my floral pieces).

I want you to feel absolute creative freedom as I guide you towards painting loosely and with unbounding joy. You will leave with two beautiful expressive floral paintings.

Course will focus on:
• Developing strong composition
• The art of the painted sketch
• Mapping your color choices
• Working dark to light when layering color
• Making the background an integral part of your design
• Understanding the cause-and-effect relationship with subject and background
• Using shadow and light to understand the importance of value in your art
• Keeping loose and staying loose!!
