Azaleas Online Painting Class

Master the art of painting beautiful white Azaleas with pink and blue highlights. This stunning work of art is painted on a dark blue background and will look striking on your wall.

You have the option of painting these Azaleas on a full watercolor sheet or on a half sheet. Louise will demonstrate on a half sheet but the instructions will be the same if you decide to paint yours on a full sheet.

You can use watercolors or acrylics when painting these azaleas. If you are an acrylic artist you might want to take my Acrylic Rose painting class to see just how easy it is to use acrylic paints with watercolor techniques.

In this video lesson you will learn how to create:

• curved petals
• highlights using a variety of paint colors
• white areas using masking fluid
• various leaf shapes
• a dramatic background

During the video, you'll be able to paint right alongside Louise as she shows you how to add color and highlights to each and every petal and leaf. Throughout this 3-hour and 54-minute video tutorial, Louise will share tips and tricks with you so that your painting will look equally as stunning as hers.

When you have finished this class, you will have an amazing painting to hang on your wall to give as a gift or to sell.

What can I expect in this video lesson?

Louise's calm teaching style will allow you to relax and enjoy your painting journey. She has painted thousands of flowers in her 50+ year career and in this lesson, she'll give you detailed explanations of each step of the painting process.

Louise paints at a pace that is easy to follow so you can paint right along with her. She'll show you how to paint every detail of this painting including every petal and leaf. You can start and stop the video as often as needed, rewinding, and fast-forwarding as need.

All of Louise's paintings can be created using either watercolors or acrylics.
