Finding Flowers in Watercolor Washes Workshop with Lorraine Rimmelin

In this workshop you will explore clever ways to open your creative mind and learn how to see flowers blooming within your artwork. We'll use innovative exercises which will stimulate your imagination and train your eye. Painting colorful textured washes will inspire you to see hidden floral shapes within the abstract background of your pieces. Using negative painting techniques we will paint flowers that are vivid and imaginative.

There are many ways to paint flowers. This workshop will help you as an artist become aware of the many possibilities you have to make your flowers stand out from the ordinary.

This class is packed with demos, guided practices, and individual help. All skill levels welcome. No drawing skills required.
