Spring is the perfect time for painting tulips. They come in so many varieties and colors which makes them a great subject! I will supply a drawing and students will learn how to transfer the drawing to their watercolor paper and begin with some washes, then lots of layers to create a beautiful painting.

  • Materials List:

     

    Arches cold press watercolor paper (block or pad, 10 x 14) good paper is crucial for watercolor!

    foam core (dollar Tree sells) or board to support your paper

    artist or painters tape

    tracing paper

    H, 2H pencils, kneaded eraser

    2 containers for water

    paper towels

    watercolor brushes ( your preference, but I recommend 1 flat wash brush (1 in.) round brush (#8) round brush (4), one small stiff brush for lifting paint,  one inexpensive mixing brush

    portable, closable palette (I recommend Mijello)

     

    Paint- I recommend Winsor and Newton (not Cotman) in the following colors:

Painting and drawing is something I’ve been doing my entire life. I started my art career in high school and took a hiatus after getting married and raising a family. Going back to get my degree was always a goal of mine and as an adult I studied oil painting- both landscape and still life, .and I received my B.F.A. and MA with a NY certification in Art Education. As a teacher and lifelong learner, I am always looking to expand my knowledge. In 2014, I enrolled in the Botanical Certificate program at the New York Botanical Gardens and earned my certificate in
2017. Because of my passion for nature, wildlife and gardening, I began painting flowers and plant life. I really enjoy painting in both oils and watercolor and my subjects almost always include natural objects.
I have been exhibiting my work in local and national shows since 2010 and received awards for honorable mention and The Roth Award for Botanical Distinction at Filoli Gardens annual Botanical Exhibit in San Francisco, California. A recent group exhibit at the Carter Burden
Gallery in New York, had been featured in Fine Arts Connoisseur magazine in July of 2021. I have also had my work featured in other publications as Botanical Artist Journal, The Smithtown News and the TBR Artist Coloring Book published by the Times Beacon Record.
I am currently teaching Watercolor, Drawing and Oil Painting at the Art Leagues of Long Island and also at The Atelier at Flowerfield in St. James and also at the Art Guild in Port Washington.
