Watercolour Florals Workshop by Ambra Art Studio
About the event
Florals look complicated until you see them as shapes and gestures, not petals and leaves. This workshop is all about changing that.Learn how to take any flower - a photo, a bloom on your desk, whatever catches your eye and break it down into the simple shapes and brushstrokes that read as a flower, without painting every detail. This hands-on session covers the techniques for turning a reference into a loose, confident floral painting of your own. You'll get a chance to practice the techniques in class and ask questions as we go. We'll cover the following: Breaking a flower down into simple shapes and gesturesBrushstrokes for petals, leaves and stemsWet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques for soft and crisp edgesLayering and building up a bloomUsing a reference as a starting point, not a template to copyPractice some common flowers as a starting point (lavender, daisies, leafy stem, coneflowers, etc) All levels welcome and materials included. Only 10 spots available so I can give students individual attention
