Flowers are a topic most artists love to paint and in this workshop you will explore a totally new style of creating flowers. Negative painting
combined with the technique of blowing watercolor paint will allow you to paint unrestricted and completely outside the lines. Seeing the flower shapes within an abstract wash is the beginning of the process. Layering flowers that are filled with colors & movement will define your individual style and end results. This is a must try technique for all artists. Whether you are an experienced artist or just started painting with water color this is a great way to loosen up your artwork. And best of all you do not need any drawing skills for this class. Painting flowers can be fun. This workshop will show you a new way of imagining & envisioning flowers in a way that you haven’t likely encountered before.
