Let's Master Watercolor Brushstroke Techniques for Soft and Expressive Petals.
One of the amazing things that I love about painting flowers in a loose style is how a few brush strokes on the paper suddenly evolve into a beautiful flower.
A common hurdle for beginners is having the petals come out stiff rather than expressive. But don’t worry, this can easily be solved with the approach that I will share in this class.
In this class, we are going to use a round brush which is a versatile brush that can go from precise detail strokes to loose and broad strokes.Â
We will talk about parts of the brush, how we can apply it to painting flowers, as well as simple warm up exercises to hone the muscle memory in your hand.
Next, you will learn a variety of petal painting techniques such as combining strokes, varying the pressure and speed, and a lot more exciting tips.
At the end of the class, these essential techniques will allow you to confidently create diverse brushstrokes that you can apply to your own style.
I have prepared several projects that are designed to fit in smaller sheets of paper and can be done in small pockets of time. We have a total of 8 beautiful projects.
Choosing to do many small paintings lets you concentrate on perfecting your brushstrokes, minus the worry of nailing the composition.
Each project is unique and filled with different watercolor tips such as how to mix colors and how to paint from a reference photo.
If you’re just starting out with watercolor, this class can help build the foundation for painting loose watercolor flowers. For seasoned artists, this class can enrich your existing skills.
I’m excited to see you dance with your brush!
