In Wild Summer Flowers, we’ll step into the color and abundance of summer flowers and create an expressive abstract floral still life using acrylic gouache and traditional gouache on watercolor paper. This class is designed to help you loosen up, trust your creative instincts, and discover a process that balances structure with freedom.
We’ll begin by creating a background, then build our painting using a simple compositional approach that establishes focal points, movement, and rhythm. Along the way, you’ll gain confidence mixing color and values, developing paintings from simple shapes, creating depth through layering, and exploring expressive brushwork and mark-making techniques that bring energy and life to your work.
Gouache is a beautiful medium for this process because it dries quickly and layers beautifully. By the end of class, you’ll leave with more than a finished floral painting; you’ll walk away with new techniques, fresh inspiration, and a deeper sense of confidence in your own creative voice. Perfect for artists who want to create artwork filled with movement, color, and personality.
