Build a custom Easter Bouquet and learn how to paint a loose floral composition of Roses, Tulips, and Ranunculus. 

Our class will focus on mastering the shape and texture of these three florals, both blooming and as buds, in a loose compositional study. We will work with gestural strokes and repetitive tricks to master loose petal shapes.

During class, we will discuss building a floral-focused composition, layering, working from background to a detailed foreground, and textures and marks you can make with simple supplies!

Students will work with warm-up exercises, breaking down how to paint each flower and what makes a compelling painting, and work toward a completed 8x10 piece! We will work with a cool color palette of lavenders, deep purples, muted creams, and greens.

Students will pick and design their easter bouquets to paint during class provided by WildRoot Floral. You will have a choice of (3) Roses, (2) Ranunculus, (2) Tulips, and (2) filler greens.

• Students will receive a workbook to follow with the instructor during the class!

Level:

This class is a great building block for those students who have taken beginning watercolor classes and are interested in learning specific florals. 

Though this is a beginner-friendly class, it is excellent for intermediate students who have a basic understanding of brush control and would like to push toward a more detailed, planned, and advanced composition!

Age:

This class is appropriate for ages 16+.

Supplies:

All supplies needed for this class are included in the $65 ticket price.

Students will pick and design their easter bouquets to paint at the beginning of class. You will have a choice of Roses, Ranunculus, Tulips, and filler greens provided by WildRoot Floral.

This build-your-own bouquet is valued at $35. The flowers you choose are yours to take with you at the end of class. Vessels will be provided for the class, and paper will be provided for each student to transport flowers home.

Location:

This class will take place at Hyatt’s

I will be in Hyatt’s classroom for a teacher meet-and-greet, where I will help students with supply questions and shop at the massive Hyatt’s store.
