Online on Zoom | 9am - 12noon Arizona Time (Mountain Standard Time) | 3 Days
Flower painting has always been one of the most widely loved and practiced art forms, now you will have the opportunity to learn the techniques and methods to create beautiful florals that sing with life. Matt will start with a demonstration each day talking through the techniques required to paint this tricky subject both from life and from photos. The main emphasis of this workshop will be giving you the tools you need to create realistic flowers using loose impressionistic brushwork that is filled with light. Matt's method is to simplify first, establishing values and then focusing on color temperature to lift your flowers from the canvas. Students will have the chance to paint themselves while Matt offers individual guidance and critique on composition, drawing, color harmony, color temperature and values.
