Subject this week – Flowers

Free yourself from using a reference photo!  We’ll learn how to paint flowers from the imagination in a glass vase.  I’ll go over a number of different ways to paint individual types of flowers in a loose painterly fashion.  This is the warm up exercise from my very popular Large and Loose class.  You’ll learn how to loosen up, get your ideas down quickly and start listening to your intuition.  Join us for this fun class.  You also receive the recording to watch as many times as you like.

Here is the basic format for this live zoom class:  There will be a lesson for approximately 1  to 1.5 hour, then participants can either stay and chat with other artists while they paint or sign off and paint privately.  This is subject to change with whatever works the best.  Personal instruction and feedback will either be in person on-line during the rest of the class or by email.

Subject this week:  Moose
For July we’ll be concentrating on animals!  Moose are both iconic Canadiana and sometimes difficult to get right.  We’ll simplify by going over the structure of the body and some of the things that make moose tricky.   You’ll find these dudes are actually a lot of fun to paint!
