Hi everyone, my name is Nia and I will be guiding you through todays class where I’ll be going back to the basics and painting 9 types of watercolor flowers freehand.

In this class I will be covering how to simplify by drawing and painting one type of flower at a time along with the colour mixtures so you’re able to have time to practice and repeat certain processes before applying everything into your final composition.

I also have a bonus class on how to mix green tones so you have the flexibility to experiment and find the tone of green you’d like to match with each of your flowers.

Then once we’ve covered everything, we’re going to put them together into a the final composition, where I’ll be dividing into 3 lessons, so each lesson doesn’t become too long, and it’s easier to take breaks in between.

These flower paintings are quite simple so I’d classify this class for all levels, including those of you who are new to watercolors.

If you’ve taken any of my classes before I usually speed up my painting ever so slightly, but this time, it’ll be done in real time, with some cuts if my hand is off the frame, so the speed will be slower than usual, but even with this speed, I’d still recommend for you to pause in between each step, so you can practice at your own pace and discover or repeat certain steps until you’re ready to paint freehand.

For those of you who are still very new, you can take on the challenge to paint freehand but I will also provide the outline, so you have the choice of tracing the outline very lightly onto your watercolor paper, as guide, in case you need it for the final painting. So please take the route that you’re comfortable with.

If this sounds like something you’d like to try, come join me in this class, and let’s have a fun and relaxing painting session.
