Groundbreaking Florals for Spring
- Posted on
- 0
Let’s address the obvious: painting flowers isn’t exactly groundbreaking. And yet, there’s a reason artists return to florals again and again!
Florals are foundational. They quietly teach some of the most essential skills in art - perspective (especially when placed in a landscape or interior setting), color theory, light and shadow, and composition. That classic studio setup -(a glass vase with thoughtfully arranged bouquet...) exists for a reason. It challenges you to observe, simplify, and translate what you see into something expressive and uniquely yours.
And beyond the technical, florals are simply fun! They’re forgiving, vibrant, and endlessly customizable. Whether you’re working loose and impressionistic or tight and detailed, there’s always something new to explore.
A Week of Water Media & Fresh Inspiration
To celebrate the season, we’re leaning into water media with a lineup of introductory classes designed to get you creating:
- Intro to Oils (yes, even oils can bloom beautifully)
- Intro to Calligraphy
- Intro to Watercolor (our most popular class!)
- Intro to Gouache
We have a feeling flowers might make an appearance in more than a few of these sessions!
