About The Event
Learn to paint lush fall flowers in oils in this 2-session workshop. Working from life, we will explore colour theory, composition, design and paint application. We will also practice simplifying the subject so that painting them will feel more effortless. If you love floral painting but struggle to bring them to a convincing finish, this might be the class for you.
