What You Will Learn?

  • Welcome to the watercolor flower class about how to paint the mysterious flower bouquet using wet-in-wet technique..
  • Watercolor is a loose and unpredictable medium, especially when painting wet-in-wet, but knowing some key points will allow you to have fun playing with watercolor and at the end of the class to have a beautiful painting. Wet-in-wet technique is a pure collaboration between the artist and the paper, where both parts are interacting by turns..
  • With warm up relaxing exercises and easy rules for sure you will enjoy painting with watercolor your favourite flowers..
  • Your class project will be to create a watercolor painting of the flower bouquet showed in the class or any other flowers which inspired you, applying wet-in-wet technique. For more inspiration check my flower folder on Pinterest More Flowers!.
  • The process is really simple and fun. There are 3 steps:.
  • As well we will use a plastic card as a creative tool in order to create dynamic effects..
  • That's all! Of cause I will show and explain the each step. Be sure that you will manage with it..
  • By the end of the class you will have the skills necessary to create loose flower bouquet that you can sell, frame, use in your illustration portfolio, or gift to a loved one..
  • The class will be useful for intermediate students who are already acquainted with watercolor basics. However, I also encourage the beginners to take the class and get acquainted with this technique. For better results I do suggest to use 100% cotton watercolor paper, grain fin, do not take the satin texture it is not suitable for this technique..
