This four week workshop will explore the world of spring flowers.

We will paint flowers, such as iris, magnolia, tulip, crocus and trillium.  Artists will capture the beauty and energy of spring blooms and their brushwork and exciting colour.  The course emphasizes an expressive approach just steps beyond traditional realism to embrace abstraction and creativity.  We will experiment with colour theory , layering, and texture.

We will bring these flowers to life on canvas,  The course encourages personal interpretation and artistic freedom.  This is a step by step demonstration course.
