OIL or ACRYLIC
Expressive Flowers
Description
Painting flowers has been an incredible way for me to develop my sense of composition, style, strengthen my technique and express myself through color. But like anything, it takes practice to build your skills and develop your own personal style.
Expressive Flowers is a workshop designed to lead the students through my personal painting process; students may choose to paint along with me or use the instruction as a guide while making their own creative and expressive choices.
Each video is downloadable, as well as, streamable allowing each student to incorporate the lessons into a daily/weekly/monthly painting practice by building on skills and developing an expressive painting style of their own.
Although these lessons are in oil, I encourage you to use and try my process in any/all media. The techniques and lessons are not only for oils, but can be incorporated and adapted for any media.
