Have you ever found still-lifes just a *touch* boring? Do you want to explore a fun new way of going about painting something observationally? And use the plants you love as a starting point?Â
Join me in this fun, playful class where I teach you how to go about creating a still-life painting using new perspectives to keep it fresh and engaging, and provide tips & tricks to achieving a realistic look with watercolor (if you want to!). Plenty of opportunities are given for you to veer off, and make your painting bold or graphical or something totally different and entirely YOU. You absolutely DON'T need to follow my realistic take on the still-life — but if you want to, I'm there to help. :)Â
In this class you'll learn
- how to explore still-lifes in a more light, refreshing & creative way
- how to work with transparencies and layers with your watercolor (or gouache!) to achieve a more realistic lookÂ
- the satellite/funnel approach to painting almost anything
- the importance of details and how you can start practicing capturing shadow and light.Â
- what to pay attention to in order to create a large flat expanse of watercolor or gouache.
- the questions you can ask yourself to make your art personal & authentic.
I'm SO so excited about this class and can't wait to see what you make!Â
