Watercolor Florals: Learn to Capture and Paint the Essence of a Flower

When you’re painting flowers in a loose style, you don’t really have to care much if they will look realistic or not. All you need to do is capture the essence of the flower and you're good to go.

In today’s class, I’m going to teach you how to capture the essence of a flower, by looking at it in a less complicated and more approachable way. 

We are going to start by analyzing and dissecting different types of flowers such as Peonies, Roses, Cosmos, and Wax Flowers. 

Then we will learn how to identify the shape of each petal so we can pick the perfect brush type for each flower.

I will also teach you how to add depth and highlights and finally, how to add details and embellishments to finish off your painting beautifully.

This class is a great place to start if you want to learn how to translate the overall image of a certain flower, without the pressure of creating heavily realistic art.

It really doesn’t matter if you’ve never picked up a brush before. Our class is going to be beginner friendly so everyone is very much welcome! ❤️

I’m so excited to paint with you! 

Now pick up your brush and let’s get started!
