This class is all about using a beautiful Autumn palette (plus the secret ingredient, white gouache) on Kraft paper! If you love painting wedge brush florals or want to learn how, you're in the right class! You'll learn how to create these colorful, pop-off-the page flowers.

Class details:

You create 2 pieces from start to finish (see pics below)
NO voice overs and No background music in the lessons (only in the Intro)
7 Handouts are available to download under the Projects and Resources tab
Videos are in real time - Nothing is sped up. My goal is to teach you to paint, not just watch me paint
Class is designed for the Intermediate artist but new comers are absolutely welcome. Basic knowledge of watercolor and the wedge brush are recommended but not required.
Learn exactly how to hold and angle your brush
Detailed, meticulous instructions are a given!
You'll use a limited watercolor palette. All supplies listed below.
NO color mixing, we use the paint straight out of the tube and/or pan
If you already know how to make wedge brush florals, awesome! This class uses many familiar strokes but I change up my grip and take a looser, "bouncier" approach with the larger florals
Rarely do I use the size 10 and/or 16 wedge brush, but we do in this class!
No wedge brush? No problem. A triangle brush or Princeton petals brush is fine
- I use a Beste Fountain Wedge brush
  - Amazon
  - Jerry's Artarama

By the end of class, you'll have knowledge of how to paint gorgeous Autumn flowers with a wedge brush and endless opportunities to add them to cards, bookmarks, letters, envelopes, and/or create a stand alone piece for yourself or sell in your business. Plus, you'll have a boatload of fun learning something new!
