If you have ever stared at a blank page and thought, I do not even know where to begin, this class is for you.

In this loose watercolor florals class, we focus on color blocking as a simple and freeing way to start painting. Instead of worrying about perfect drawing or detailed petals, we begin with bold areas of color and build from there. This beginner-friendly watercolor approach helps you loosen up, build confidence, and enjoy the process again.

Whether you are brand new to watercolor or returning after a long break, this class will help you take that first step.

In this class, you will learn how to:

• Use color blocking to overcome blank page fear
• Choose and layer simple watercolor washes
• Paint loose floral shapes without overworking them
• Add expressive ink lines to bring movement and personality
• Embrace imperfection as part of your artistic style

Why take this class?

Watercolor can feel intimidating, especially if you think you need to “draw well” before you paint. This class removes that pressure. You will learn how to start with color first and let the shapes evolve naturally. These skills can be applied to florals, abstract work, sketchbook practice, or warm-ups before longer paintings.

I teach in a gentle, encouraging way that focuses on confidence and creative freedom. My goal is to help you feel capable, not overwhelmed.

This class is perfect for:

• Beginners who have never painted before
• Artists returning to watercolor after time away
• Anyone looking for a relaxing creative reset
• Intermediate painters who want a loose warm-up exercise

No prior drawing experience is required.

Materials you will need:

• Watercolor paper
• Watercolor paints in a few basic colors
• One or two round brushes
• A waterproof black ink pen
• Water container and paper towel

This class includes four short lessons:

By the end of this class, you will have a finished loose watercolor floral painting and a new, relaxed approach to starting any artwork.
