15-Day Watercolor Challenge: Paint Loose Florals Using Color Prompts

via Skillshare

Overview

Let's explore 15 different loose watercolor floral paintings using color prompts! 

When I was a watercolor newbie, I had encountered several challenges painting loose florals such as painting blobs of paint instead of florals. I was able to overcome this hurdle through daily practice. Here is an example of my past and present work to inspire you. If I can do it, then so can you! Let's check out the topics in this class below.

In this class, we will learn about the following:

  • Materials (Importance of paper)
  • Watercolor Tips
    • Wet on Wet Technique
    • Controlling Water in Your Brush
    • Fading Technique
    • Brush Stroke Drills
    • Floral Warm Up Exercises 
  • 15 Different Floral Projects

The goal of this class is to help you develop a habit of painting daily to improve the muscle memory in your hand. You will also learn to explore different colors that you don't use that much. This will help spark your creativity in painting something new. In each project, you will learn new techniques and floral compositions. 

At the end of the class, you will gain more confidence on painting that first stroke on a blank page. 

Check out all the projects in this photo collage.

ABOUT YOUR TEACHER

My name is Joly Poa. I'm a watercolor artist and online art educator based in the Philippines. I have been painting since 2013. I specialize in painting loose watercolor florals. What I love about using watercolor is how I can express my style through dancing with my brush. One of my passions in life is teaching and sharing what I have learned. I hope to inspire more people in their watercolor journey.
