Dive into the wonderful world of loose watercolor florals with this step-by-step watercolor painting course! This class is designed to teach beginner and intermediate watercolor artists the easiest methods for painting 5 types of loose style flowers, greenery, and basic floral compositions.

Each lesson in this class will include simple, real-time instructions, so you’ll be able to follow along easily and add new florals to your painting toolkit in no time. 

In this class, you will learn how to paint:

  • A variety of 6-petal flowers
  • Roses
  • Daisies
  • Lavender
  • Flower Buds
  • Leaves & Greenery
  • Floral composition tips
  • ….and more!

While this class teaches 5 specific types of flowers, the techniques and experience you’ll gain from it can be applied to anything you decide to paint in the future; so even if you’re not a floral-fanatic like I am, you’ll still walk away from the class with valuable watercolor skills and growth.

A lot of people get intimidated by painting florals, but once you learn to let go of perfection and just let the magic of watercolor take the lead, you’ll be surprised how easy and joyful the process can be. 

Gather your supplies and get ready for a  fun-filled crash course in loose watercolor florals!
