If you are excited to try some new painting techniques, this online painting class is ideal for you.
Louise has created a fascinating technique to draw your attention to the focal point in this painting. In this video course, Louise will walk you through the step-by-step process to create a unique-looking background with circles highlighting the focal point flowers.
This painting class features watercolor paints but this painting can also be done completely using acrylic paints too using the same techniques. If you paint using acrylics, you might enjoy the Acrylic Daisies Class or the Acrylic Rose Class. If you are new to using watercolor techniques with acrylic paints, you might want to watch the Pink Wildflower course where Louise shows you how to paint a few flower petals using watercolors and a few using acrylics. It's a great way to learn the basics.
In this video lesson you will learn:
- Louise's basic blending technique
- how to paint a colorful background
- to create dimension and depth in the flower's petals
- how to create a round focal point using white paint
- how to use the watercolor paper to create highlights
When you have finished this class you will have a beautiful 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 explain each step of the painting process.
