Gouache Florals: Painting from real flowers

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

This class is all about painting from real flowers. Which means, I will have different flowers right next to me and I will show you how I interpret them. I will be going in depth into color mixes, as I show you how I choose the colors for the flowers.

I will also talk about how I break down the shapes and structures of the flowers and how I eliminate certain things so that the flowers we paint are loose yet resemble the actual flowers.

While I will be focusing on painting with gouache on black paper, all the techniques that you learn from this class can be used on any colored paper, with any medium.

By the end of this class you would not only have learnt to paint 5 different wildflowers, but would also be ready to paint flowers that you see around you.

No part of the class is sped up. Which means you can take your own time, relax and paint along with me.

I really hope you join me in this painting session!
