    For this 7-day challenge, I will be guiding you through painting seven different species of watercolor florals in a playful illustrative style.  We will be looking at the materials you will need if you are brand new to watercolor and where to find inspiration. I’ll be explaining my painting choices along the way, and how and why I use certain materials to help guide you. This class is all about encouraging you to find your own style of watercolor florals, with my techniques as your starting inspiration!

    As a bonus video, I will share how to scan and clean up your illustrations in Photoshop. I encourage you to complete all florals in 7 days in a row, but you are welcome to stop and come back to finish at anytime at your own pace. Doing this challenge consistently over one week will help you stay in the groove, and help you to develop your style intuitively. 

    This class is great for beginner watercolor artists, but is also for any experience level. 

    • Follow my guide to painting different florals over a 7-day challenge
    • Start and stop the challenge at your own pace
    • Start to find your own watercolor painting style with my tips as guidance
    • Perfect for beginners new to watercolor
    • Bonus: learn how to scan and clean up your artwork for further use

    Share your illustrations on Instagram with us by using the class hashtag #expressivefloralschallenge and I will be sharing your work on my Instagram stories!

    Hi! I'm Juliet, an artist and designer based in New Orleans. 

    You can usually find me painting with watercolor in my studio, designing products for my online shop, and collaborating with other brands. Or creating classes here on Skillshare!

    I'm inspired by vintage books and textiles, and the organic shapes of nature. I gravitate towards painting flowers because of how much color exploration they offer, the ability to be loose and playful with them. 

    I love teaching you how to paint with watercolor in a way that's approachable and suited to YOUR particular painting style. I want you to feel like you can be playful, expressive, and experiemental when you paint. 

    For behind the scenes, find me over on Instagram. I'm excited to share any knowledge I have with you and hopefully inspire some beautiful projects. 

    You can also read my blog where I post art business related resources weekly!

    Thanks for joining me,
    Juliet
