Painting flowers really is one of those subjects where people either dive in joyfully or shy away because it feels like “too much”—too much detail, too many petals, too many decisions about edges, color, and value. The good news is that pastels are almost unfairly perfect for florals: immediate color, luscious texture, and the ability to shift from bold marks to delicate veils of pigment. If you have ever considered or are currently a floral painter, this workshop is for you.
