Hello friends!

I am Olga Koelsch, watercolour artist and pattern designer living in Norway.

I started my art career in traditional botanical illustration but later on I focused on modern watercolour techniques and loose painting as it has more flexibility and have a high commercial demand.

I love intuitive painting, free-hand painting that comes organically but nevertheless based on knowledge of colors, techniques and composition rules.

I create whimsical watercolours in delicate painting style combined with bohemian touch and expressiveness. I am also known for transparent flowers illustrations (or X-ray flowers) which are becoming my personal signature.

I recently published a book "How to paint transparent flowers with watercolor"See full profile

Transcripts

1. Welcome!: Hi friends, and welcome back to my studio. Today I prepared a very special class. We are going to paint wildflowers. I know that this is a very popular topic for artists because of diversity of wild flowers and their shapes and their colors and the beauty of our class will be that we are going to paint these flowers, just simple, simple brush strokes. So if it is your first time when you open your watercolor books and took a vertical brush, you will manage. And if you're experienced artist, I'm invite you to give it a try and try this loose technique because it's very mindful painted, It's very relaxing painting and I hope you will like it. And as a result of the class, we are going to arrange flowers in a beautiful reef, which you could use for greeting cards, for Easter cards, for some wedding invitations. So many things you could do. You could paint with wild flowers. So let's start. 2. Foxglove: I will start painting with foxglove. And what I'm doing is painting the stem. Now, I combine quinacridone rose, and I just mix a little bit, take a little bit of color from the green part. I want to add maybe a hint of wireless. So I just prepare palette. So I could combine colors that you are in the process. At the top. Flowers actually has small green clusters which have paint just with the tip of the brush. I have prepared already my another brush, find one. And I add some tips with the second brush with violet color. While it is still, while still wet, and colors code flow into each other, intersect with each other. And foxglove. The more it goes from the top towards, the more we could see actually this small little bells and water I'm painting right now. With just small moves off the tip of the brush. I make the head, the head of the flower. With violet. I paint the actual, I press on the belly of the brush. The more we go to the bottom, the more the bigger gets all these little bells. Just with the tip of the brush. Our aim is to catch the shape of these bell, correct? Here it will be just to to to separate them a bit. I clean my brush. And just with a clean brush, I remove a little bit of color from here. To add some volume. I want to add more. You see, I just use the colors from my palette. I think you could find everything you need on your palette known to be precise with the colors. Our goals. Just to catch the shape, the color. Make it a one more bell would be nice. Sometimes I paint with the tip of the brush to show some directions. Foxglove has such a lovely bottom shape. Again with the tip of the brush with very, very delicate moves. I paint these. And I want to add something and warm, reddish just for variety. And now coming back to the green week, bought some greenery around. And I painting the leaves, I just paint. I start with the tip of the brush. I press on the belly of the brush. We go the brush route. That's how I get I get this leaves. And maybe one. Again tip of the brush, some wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. And it's always nice to have some intersection of four leaves. So again, with the tip of a brush, some wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. A little bit of photo, even with a little bit of wire. Let it go. We go and connect to the Stam. Our folks loafers ready? 3. Cornflower: Our next flower will be corn flour. And again, I will make a cluster. So I start from the top where the bots are very small and delicate and go a little bit dull. And at the same time with the second brush, I'll add some blue shades. And corn flour has very specific battles. I paint them just with the tip of the brush and I use ultramarine blue because I think that's the best match. With a second brush, I immediately connect these blue BOD with the main stem at some greenery, wrong with, just with the tip of the brush. Now, I want to paint the bigger flower. I paint the middle with a tip of the brush and then with the belly of the brush, I paint the flower petals. It's a little bit tricky because they are very delicate and has a very recognizable shape. We will try our best to emphasize the middle. So I just go again with, with a green color. Here. I would like to start immediately the second flower, the second OpenFlow. And I add a little bit of wireless to add some variety. In the chest, a little bit difference in the shape. But first of all, it divides one flower from the author at some variety. And again, greenery needle. In actual flowers. It's maybe not that green, more yellowish, but we Painting artistic manner and we need a little bit of contrast. Here. I want to connect everything to one stem, stem with the tip of the brush. And I want to add some deep here. I start with with a tip of the brush and weaken the brush. Vary randomly and connect. Always nice to add some color from the flowers, violet, e.g. to unite all these details, we need a green really here, a longer stem. And never find a flaw or flower stem like this, like a straight line. If, even if you look at the reference and it is straight, it looks a little bit childish. Always try to add some curvy glory parts on each leaf. Would be nice to add. Some half open bots. I just mix a little bit of purple color and ultramarine blue. I'm thinking of adding 1 bar here. Just a bit of greenery around here, not to talk a little bit to fill in this space. And this is each. 4. Cuckoo FLowers: Bonds should be funny, it called cuckoo flower. We have a lot of these cuckoo flowers here in Norway. Right now. They're very tiny, lonely. So I use very diluted purple, purple color of this Coco flowers. They have four petals. So keep this in mind just for petals around. And while it is still wet. I add greenery to the stem and some closed boards here. And I don't paint the middle of this BOD and connect everything into, into one stem. And do not forget to make it curvy, oval. In the real life, it might be very straight. But it's important. It's pleasant for RI, when I, for some curve, straight line. When you paint flowers in these loose technique on, on 142, you could think, Oh, it's very simple. No need to bother about details. And that's true. Although it's important to preserve the flower and try to show them most specific elements, e.g. the amount of petals, shape of greenery, e.g. the scope of flower, it has these small branches with a lot of leaves in college. And it's important to show it simply it would be recognizable. So anyway, you have to observe the flowers and this is so lovely, absolutely pleasant. Same types of flowers. Last thing I would like, just to a little bit emphasize some petals to add some depth. Just use the same violet color. Here and there. I just add some extra tears. 5. Bellflower: Now it's time to paint. I mix with chromatin, blue, purple. And I will be using this mixture. And start again with some top with some boards. I wash my brush a little bit, dilute the color, and with a second brush, I paint greenery. Just connect. I have, let's say, put these bought on, then. The whole stem. Here Comes. Everybody knows all of them. And both flower, looks like I say Bell flower. I, I think in many places call it hair band. For somebody knows what's the correct name. Just leave some feedback. Just write main comments. I'm very curious and flowers, names and their meanings. And another, and another bond will be here. I use more purplish color for the top, for the top leads, petals. And I use more the hint of trauma for the button flowers, for the bottom petals. Just like this. And I leave the middle to add stores and steam is just on the top. And I want to connect. I think food be nice to add maybe one more purple colors. I say I like when colors flows, flowing to each other and makes a wall painting, a tasty Quibi, interesting. Maybe. I add a tiny little closed bud here just for the composition, just to make it looks twisting. Add some little tiny details. Greenery. Done. 6. Guess what a flower?: Next one. I'm curious if you could recognize these flower while I'm painting. I am not telling you what the voters for a few minutes, of course I will tell you just, just in a moment. You'll probably already good sport and could guess, what, what is it? And of course it is, forget me, not flower. Now. I just add some greenery, some green middles. And I said all the flowers into int1 stem. Monod flowers, they have very long shaved curvy. Very specific form for this type of flower. Maybe. When you paint, you keep in mind, so what will be on the front? What will be on the bottom? E.g. I. Would like to this green leaf goal beneath of the flower. So that's highest stopped and painted quickly. The flower itself. And of course, it's nice. Some little bots. And maybe one more. Yes, one more. One more cluster. Here. I want to add all these flowers. I'm mixing purple color and ultramarine like in the previous flowers. Just to add some variety. It's always interesting when some mixing one with each other. Really. The difference. Instead of you paying just one color. Cough, open. Open. Good. Curators, forget minute. 7. Buttercup Flowers: I prepared very bright lemon yellow to paint middle Buttercup. And I'm starting from the top. And as we paint very loose, I mainly paint as you see, brushstrokes just to imitate the flower. And I leave a little bit of space in the middle. And for the middle, I'm taking bone or brownish orange colors. And with small TP, I create the middle. And I distribute these orange color into the petals to make the imitation of a depth of a flower. And to emphasize it, just few tubes of dark brown. And I would like immediately start with the second flower. I guess. I just imagine it could be here. The belly of the brush. I'm painting petals around. And this one will be looking to the right. I want to leave a little bit of whitespace. Do not forget to leave. Whitespace is in-between petals, makes the painting a re and more interesting. So this one will be look into that side and maybe another one to the other side, to the left. Again with the belly of the brush. Very delicate, very soft, and very random. While it is still wet, we could easily, you could very easily add some contrast colors. I hope you could see, well, I don't make it a little bit closer. Just in a little bit of darker color. And now we will pay greenery. In this painting. We do not really much care about green color. You could take any green from your palette to mix. Bod. Yeah. And these flowers, they have very specific greenery. Some leaves. And now i, with the tip of the brush and using some belly of the brush, I'm painting different strokes just to imitate these. These interesting greenery. Would like to add some green. Here. I use olive green for this painting. For this green, I use olive green, its form. And it gives the feeling that everything is covered with the sunshine. Maybe one more small little BOD chest here. And we're done. 8. Clover: For clover, I prepared a mixture of quinacridone, rose and purple column, rather dilute it. And I'm painting just with the tip of the brush with these strokes. And important that all goes to the central point. To make it more interesting, I mix purple and a Quinacridone Rose. And I put some strokes. Make it smartly. Another bar, another, but I will try to make a little bit more closed. And to imitate that, I'm making a smaller and more roundish brush strokes like this. And you see, we get these feelings. And in some places I just a little bit of purple I think would be nice. Yes, I would like to make one more just here. Same same moves. Small, very small, and round. Brush strokes around. And I leave a lot of white space in the flour to make. Every and fluffy. White space really plays a big role in watercolor painting. And once you learn, not too afraid to leave a lot of whitespace, it really improves your hand, your style. Now, let's add some green. With cheap and belly of the brush, I add some green. Usually on clover, green leaves grows right underneath the bark and hi toward. So I try to imitate this. I paid with their middle side of my brush and I tried to make the chips sharp. Basically, all these leaves I get when I just put my brush on the paper and it grows by itself. Here, make it neutral. Now, the fun part is to connect everything. Green here. Once. I imagine that it goes like this, always try to make the stem a little bit thinner. Rather than thicker. It will look much nicer and more elegant. And so I painting the leaves, the greenery of Clover, just with the side of my brush. And I connect everything. Maybe one, yes, I would like to paint one big leaf here. Sometimes it's not very convenient to paint in this direction. So I, even with the bottom of the brush to paint rather sharp strokes. Something I would like to remove. Just a little bit of color in some of the greenery pots to make it look smooth. More close to them. Clover leafs. Because in the middle of their lives they have these very special white areas. And that's why I just with the clean and dry brush, I remove a little bit of color in the middle of the leaf. Nodes. In every war. Mainly on those which are on the top, on the sunshine. Like this. It is done. 9. Isclandic Poppies: For Wild Poppies, I prepared a orange mix. We have a lot of Wild Poppies which grows in our garden in all the streets. They are usually here no way the orange and yellow might be read in your, in your country, in your place. And with very diluted mixture with the belly. Just with the belly of the brush. I paint rather thick strokes. For Poppy. Wild Poppies have four leaves, four petals, sorry. They have very petals. So I'm trying to imitate this. And with dry and clean brush, I make some white areas to add more contrast. And the inner part is rather dark. I will come back a little bit later to the inner part. Right now, I'll just add some sepia, brownish color to make the base of these. I will be back here a little bit later. And one more. I think it's always nice to have one more. I will paint it more open. This one will be more open, one petal. Second petal. Bit more orange for, for the variety. And to imitate these very tiny structure of the petal. Sometimes I just keep the white area and paint lines with the tip of the brush. Very random. I will propose is to paint The recognizable shape, but not to go into the details and make it just artistically nice. And if you paint it on each flower on a separate piece of paper, you could have a very nice, lovely collection for your summer cottage, for your summer house. Them and frames. It will really, really nice. Dry and clean brush. Something. Sometimes I just add something with orange juice. Just like this. Now, we altogether, into the green, into the greenery, into the stems. Stems are very weak. And now I want to add just one small, little, tiny bod here. Almost closed. As in the petals, are very, very dense. So the color also could be more intense. No need to use that diluted color. Just like this. Some greenery, greenery, these very specific enthalpy. With the tip of the brush. I just go for some greenery and paint it like this. One, big nice leaf. Look very interesting here. I combine several freights of green. It's warm, green, olive green, and bluish green. For the, for the variety because it depends on the color of four greenery, depends on how it look on, on the light, how light goes through the leaves. So it's always nice when you add at least two different greens from your palette. Of course, you could mix your own greens or use the greedy one greens. Just to note, stock with one color. Once you think you're painting too long with the same color, just change it and switch to something else. And now lost details. I take Van ****, It's very dark brown. I try to avoid black colors in the painting. Tiny, tiny strokes. With the tip of the brush. I paint details in the middle. See it's still not dry enough. So it's a little bit goes to the sides. The color. That's actually, that's that's 22 petals. It would be nice if we divide them. Example with darker shade. Same. Wet. Where is the contrast? There? I, I really likes contrast and Nice. Same here. I just randomly paint with the tip of the brush. Smaller, more look like I'm painting shapes like this. And we're done. 10. Sweet Violet: I'm painting Sweet Violet. This, they're very tiny, cute, very soft flowers. Adorable. The very pleasant to paint. Five leaves, five petals. Just five petals. And to add variety, I had some quinacridone rose in some parts. And we've tip of the brush. I, the middle, I add the middle. Like to add one. Basically it's just the brush strokes with the tip of the brush with the belly of the brush. Middle part would be a little bit darker here. And we draw out the color where the petal makes this curve sunshine into each and make the volume I add. I keep it wide this area and paint darker. Here. This may be one flower we'll be looking aside. Let's put everything on a stem. Stems where we, tiny and delicate stems are delicate, but the greenery is rather big and rather big volume. If you compare the greenery to the top of the flower pot. For us, it's important to make greenery, in this case, very light, not too heavy. And to get that, we use very diluted green and even remove some color from e.g. from this sleep where I went a little bit too hard with, with colors 12, maybe the third leaf here, so it will make the composition finished. I want to put these, these third leave behind. I use very diluted color and I try not to touch the stem here. So it would not dissolve scenarios here. What else we could bring to our long one? I do not like that. It's true parallel one to another. So I very carefully extend this leaf here. And once it dry, I will just go one more time on the stem to emphasises so we see that it goes or in the foreground of the leaf. But now we are alone. We're not done. It looks a bit weird when two flowers, and they are not connected to something. Something. Now it's done. 11. Tansy: Here in these small, little tiny place left, I will paint TNC. And of course, you could take a white blank paper. I kind of like to squeeze everything in one paper. Maybe later on I just create a pattern with these. And for me it's kind of fun to find the place in-between. But of course, for you, it's absolutely fine if you paint each and every flower on single piece of paper. And actually could be very lovely collection. Fancy has clusters of flowers. And I connect all of them with the tip of the brush. I will probably add a little bit more. And TNC has relatively thick stem. But as I told, better to paint stamps scenery than thicker. So it will look really nice and pleasant for I, and more elegant. And of course, we add in some greenery. You see, I could even make this term loan girl and add some greens here around. The greenery has very sharp edges. So I was careful moves just with very tip of the brush. I tried to imitate these these sharp spots. Not try to paint them. Just neat feeling. When everybody could say, Aha, I know this flower. And that's it. That's important. Nobody will call really, if that's a right amount of leaves. They grow. They painted through an accordion tool, the flowers scheme, etc, which are painting an impression and make it recognize some cream and connect to the main stem. Now, in this case, could be a little bit thicker. But just on the bottom part, some greenery around. So now I am coming back to the yellow part. Because right now it's, you could see much nicer what is missing. And I want to add these tiny little details. And just with the tip of my brush, I paint these round, small, round petals, round and I could add more. Always nice to add some contrast, e.g. with orange color around, especially for some bottom parts. I keep my brush vertical 90 degrees to the people. Make these tiny little dots. Don't try to page just the so-called circles with plain color. It will be childish in a way. Really spent a little bit of time for these TP. At the end, you will get really, really, really nice, fluffy, sunshine. Beautiful effect. So here it is. 12. Wreath part1: Now we have ten beautiful wild flowers. And now let's arrange them in a reef. So I map out the circle around which I will arrange all the items. We could just use any, any plate for this ice, often, the pencil marks. Let's start. You could have your flowers next to yourself and just decide from which you will go. I think I will start with bottle prompts. I will use the same colors as I did for painting the flowers. And of course, we could also use your own. Let's start with Butter Cups. The principles are the same. And painting a reef or another composition is just great to practice. To practice bought you managed to achieve in the previous lessons. And of course, also trains a little bit your composition skills. So as we paint in Butter Cups with painting, with the side of the brush and arrange flowers. Now a little bit, according to our so-called, once I'm painting flowers, I really think to which side it will look like. And also, I think how I will, I will organize it one by the other. I'm going to add all the greenery a little bit later. I like to add contrast. That's why I have a loop. And I think nice cone flowers would be very great. Next to Butter Cups, blue and yellow. That's one of the nicest contrast. Let's paint a few flowers where the tip of the brush. Same principles. You could wash your brush and dilute a little bit. Metals. Always nice to add some variety into your drawings. Could add few dots overlapping with water cups. So future butter cups. So it's always nice to add some outstanding. Was around maybe like this. And we had, we had a purple flower. And let's also played bass. And you see, I'm just following my own, my own tutorials. I just rage everything in one place. One purpose. It's always nice to add very contrasting areas. Let's think about the next step. I suggest we will go to this direction a little bit. And clover. Clover would be very nice. Again, next to yellow, something purple, something blue, something dork. Let's play into clover. One of my favorite simplest flowers to paint, because you just brush strokes. They turned to be a very, very beautiful flower. I, why? I provide the dilution. Of course, the colors itself. I add quinacridone, rose to my purple mix. You could check out the previous lessons for the mix names. Or, and of course, I believe that you paint it also with your old paints and maybe change a few things. So just try to be consistent and use what's, what works better for you. Right now, I would like to add some greenery. I postponed it, but now it feels like it's time. Because I want to make a little bit off. And I like when bottom vertical flows. From one, from petals, two stems from, I'm not painting stems exactly. I paint some leaves, visible parts of the leaves. And we will add a lot of details a little bit later right now we'll keep two range. Now it would be nice to add this when **** poppies, I called, I called them Icelandic poppies. Sometimes they called Wild Poppies. We have a lot. In your weight. Again, it's a brushstroke with the side of the brush. I bring all the brushes, are all the strokes to one point where all the petals meet and where they attach to the stem. Of course, it's important to paint the middle, the middle area with a lot of lot of Poland's inside. Some greenery around. I want to keep this one and I will come back for now. What about forget me not forget the notes. Ultramarine blue with with ultramarine violet. And just with the tip of your brush, I arrange small clusters of flowers. Some of them, I make a rather bold. Some of them didn't eat it. Often the points of the petals. It's nice to try to balance. Try to think about real proportions between the flowers. I think my, forget my notes. I slightly bigger than in real life. If I compare to the other flowers. So keep this in mind. Shouldn't be too big. About these. To make painting Interesting, I will start with the bottom area. I think you can't add too many of forget me nuts. Just brush strokes. The beauty of painting loose florals that it's really, it's a Lacey brush strokes in the right place, in the right directions, create something better. Some greenery. Small branches, stance. Same here. When you paint a wreath, It's nice when it has the logic move, e.g. from a clockwise when everything moves clockwise. So if I think that the main stem of my forget the notes is here. And for this branch, the main stem will be here and a top of the flower. We'll look in this direction. It's small, little tiny details. Of course, you could paint a wreath which floor was Luke in different directions. It will build so nice, but you need to think about the little bit in advance. Small little clusters. It really feels something yellow would be nice. And now I would like to add tenses, tenses very small little clusters of flowers. And remember that, that the flower then look, right now it will look a little bit downside. Of course, you could turn the paper and paid in the normal direction, but I recommend you work with your wife to move your arm. Rest. First row, to train your hand, train your tuition, where you would look at your composition. Indifferent from different angles. Which flower? Violet, Sweet Violet. Right now feels nice. Flowers like wireless that we tweet. You look a little bit from, from the top. You could range in different angles, not necessarily straight. So the more variety you will add to your width owe to your other composition. The bedroom. For that purpose, you could little bit more. I can reverse the direction of flowers. Middle for middle. So it's nice to use just some green bold mix where we think tick, tuple for flower would start to add some greenery and leaves. I, very often, I wash my brush and I soften the edges. Another tweak with painting, shapes and compositions is about contrast, not only between colors, bottom, between shapes, beak, shape, small cluster, big petals are small. Small, small, small flowers. Let's page. Here we have this contrast between shapes. Now, let's paint another bottle. I painted these directions to the bottom. And I painted a little bit lighter. Some orange, nice middle yellow column. If it's the tricky color to add shades. The only thing you could do not to make it dirty and they shades. Use different molto boldness. So this is very diluted, yellow and suddenly just normal yellow, not very diluted, looks much bolder. Just like this. 13. Wreath part2: We keep, we keep range. Now, I would like to add focus groups. Focus groups. Let's make this cluster. It's small, little bells, let them down. No need to paint the whole bunch of the flower. You could use. You could use just a few of bots. And that would be actually really, really nice enough. I'm just looking at maybe one. As you saw. I did not prepare any sketch. I am planning. I like to plan my toe, my painting, my composition in the process. This is a really good training for your, your skills, for your vision. Which flower? I really would like to paint another Icelandic. First of all, to balance the composition and add something, something, something, OH, now I will paint it. Looking inside the leaf. I will add small little bud. I will add a little bit more details. We've painted the Icelandic poppies and we add few strokes later on. I will make the same. I don't get the same. Here. Another clover. The clover and now clover. It's very well to see on clover example it looks from left to the right. And if we could move clockwise it another cluster should look like, should look, should look to this direction. Not overthink it. In some small little flowers. I could bet that on this stage, your width is completed. It looks completely different than mine. If you really follow step-by-step, and that's the beauty of painting. Watercolor. Barely. It's very unique. Each and every time. Interesting paths comes when we try to knee, try to arrange flowers one next to another. We could overlap at some green details. Now, what we will paint, like the last one, if you both flowers or another tendency. Flour cauliflower? Yes. Um, maybe it's now you see we have, the problem we have is that blue, blue flower, blue flower. And it's very tempting to add TNC, we might do it, but I would like to add cocoa flower for the variety because the purpose of these reef really to practice alarm, alarm lessons, to put them into practice. Just to practice, practice, practice. The paper is still wet. I add some greenery. I like how these mixes this flow. I paint with the tip of the brush. I just arrange few brushstrokes. And now I will add a small little cluster of tenses to balance and to add some contrast. It will be very, very small. One. You see how it sparkles around these blue, blue, purple area. Now let's move to the fun part, tweeting greenery and stems. I keep my brush about 30 degrees. I keep my brush in the middle, about the middle to make it more free. And I randomly create. I moved my brush in my way. Kind of add different stamps from different flowers to emulate that impression of the world. So I hope you got the point. The more random, but the more, the more free you have your brush, the more random is your, is your brush or your brush strokes, the more interesting, the more tricky or composition you will get. Just remember about these flow clockwise. It's okay when few leaves look, look on the different direction. That's absolutely neutral. But somehow it should be very easy to read the move clockwise. Or some contrast. I'm going to take much bolder green. I mix the color green and CPM to get something very sage, dark green. You could use any, any shade of gray. It should be just a little bit different. One a few small details, leaves. Try to add various of elements. You could always look and choose some nice interesting leaves to add on this state. It's not really, I will honestly say too, It's not really important tool which leaves the lungs to each flower. We are creating right now, a nice composition with a lot of details and moves. A few dots in the middle of the flowers for Boolean areas, where it's necessary. Almost everywhere. Add more depth to the flowers. Final contrast tool. It's landed opiates, few little strokes, few little details, and you see how it looks different, it looks more risky. Don't be afraid to go with the second layer. But not too much. One more extra layer is enough to make them composition. Nice. Nice thing that you always could add a little bit more of details in between. To make the reef really really beautiful. And eyeballs around. Our beautiful reef is ready. 14. Final Thoughts: Thank you so much for joining my class. I hope you enjoyed the process, which is the most important thing. And I'm looking forward for your feedback. Which flower was the most complicated to paint? Which flower you liked? Best of all, maybe which flowers you would like to paint next. I encourage you to paint as much as you like and bring these exercises, all these lessons into practice. And looking forward to see your beautiful pictures. See you next time. Bye-bye. 15. Join my Membership!: Hi friends, I'm going to be killed. And I welcome you to joy, to my membership. I know that we all somehow at different stages of our painting skills and that's fine because I split my membership classes, my membership offers into sudden bundles. And you could start either from the very, very basic steps and then short-time get to another step and then to another step. And as my favorite thing, we could paint together complex botanical illustrations or loose floral compositions. It, somehow, it takes time to realize what you're more into, either into loose painting or some more precise painting, it's okay to give yourself a try. And another thing I would like to stress out that most of my classes, you could stop at any moment, e.g. when a baby cries or dog needs to go out. So really at any moment and heavy, just 15 min daily practice. Good. Bring you into really nice progress with watercolor painting, withdrawal away, anything basically. So I invite you to try out free classes, to try out churn membership, e.g. for a month and feel how how does it feel here. So I hope you will like it and we could make, we could create a really nice together. I hope I see you there. Bye bye.
