Finding Beauty: New Lessons in Seeing, Drawing and Painting Flowers

 

Finding Beauty

 

Beauty surrounds us. We just need to know where to look, how to see it and what to focus on. 

As I continue to deep dive into explorations of drawing and painting flowers, I want to invite you on the journey with me.

Select a Date! Either June 18th OR June 20th! Sat June 18 10 - Noon, a 2 hour break, class resumes 2-4 pm PDT $90.00 USD Mon June 20th 10 - Noon, a 2 hour break, class resumes 2-4 pm PD $90.00 USD

 

 

What you will be doing: drawing, A LOT OF DRAWING to reinforce confidence and to generate ideas! You will also be painting your drawings and taking your own notes along the way to document your discoveries and tools used. 

This is not a workshop to learn how to draw and paint MY flowers. Yes, I will demonstrate how I work but I want you to slow down, see, and follow which flower and botanical images call to you. I want to help you find your way.

 

All you need is: some references (could be actual flowers or found images), a few of your favorite pencils, a sharpener, your journal, your favorite brushes, a small painting knife and a handful of your favorite acrylics. Oh, and a desire to play, explore and ask questions is helpful, too!

Note: this workshop is entirely different than BLOOM (they do compliment each other and can be taken separately or together.) Not only am I teaching how to draw different flowers but we are narrowing the focus to drawing and painting flowers (NO painted backgrounds or making books in Finding Beauty.) You can work on separate sheets of paper but I would encourage you to work in a journal form to document your explorations and discoveries.

 

Workshop format: 

via Zoom 

The lessons are recorded and then sent to you within 24-48 hours after the workshop ends. 

 

Our workshop begins with drawing flowers! Bring a pencil sharpener, small handful of your favorite pencils (I like to use a couple of different colors) and your journal with paper that can hold up to acrylic paint. 

 

There is a 2 hour break between the drawing and painting session. This is to encourage you to recharge your batteries (and your device!) Take a walk, nap, grab some lunch or, keep drawing on your own. 

 

We will reconvene after the break and change our focus to painting our flowers. 

 

You will walk away with several pages of new work, new confidence and a fiery passion for drawing and painting flowers that you love!
