Acerca de esta clase
Welcome to Gouache Florals for Beginners: White Briar Rose — a gentle, beginner-friendly class where we’ll paint one of the most elegant flowers in the rose family.
In this class, you’ll learn how to use gouache to capture the delicate charm of a white briar rose. Through clear and simple steps, I’ll guide you from selecting the right materials, analyzing a reference photo, to painting soft, glowing petals with subtle highlights and depth. By the end of this class, you’ll complete a finished piece in your sketchbook and gain the skills to create more floral art with confidence.
Let’s make something beautiful together!
What You Will Learn:
-
Essential gouache techniques for painting florals
-
How to simplify a complex floral reference into a clean composition
-
Blending and layering techniques to create soft gradients and glowing effects
-
Tips for painting delicate white petals and defining form with light and shadow
-
Creative confidence to explore gouache in your own sketchbook
Why You Should Take This Class:
Gouache is a wonderfully forgiving and versatile medium — perfect for creating dreamy floral paintings. If you’ve ever wanted to try gouache but felt unsure where to start, this class offers an easy entry point. You’ll learn techniques that make painting roses feel relaxing and rewarding, even if you’re new to the medium.
Who This Class is For:
This class is perfect for beginners who want to learn gouache through floral painting, and for anyone who enjoys soft, elegant botanical art. No prior experience is needed — just bring your curiosity and love for flowers!
If you're completely new to gouache, I recommend starting with my other class:
Gouache for Absolute Beginners: Black-Eyed Susan in Vintage Style to build up your basics before diving into this soft and glowy rose.
Proyecto de clase práctica
For your class project, you’ll create a beautiful gouache painting of a white briar rose, using the step-by-step techniques we cover in class. Before starting the final piece, we’ll begin with a simple practice sheet to warm up and explore key gouache techniques together.
Materials:
Here are the materials I’ll be using in this class, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand:
-
Gouache Paints (Any brand works — I use HIMI Jelly Gouache)
-
Toned or White Watercolor Paper (A6 size or larger)
-
Brushes (One round brush and one flat brush will do just fine)
-
Water container & mixing palette
Getting Started:
Warm up by making a small practice sheet. Try out basic techniques like layering, blending, and creating soft edges — this will help you get comfortable before we move on to the final painting.
笨ｨ Don’t worry about being perfect — just explore and enjoy the process!
Final Painting:
For your final piece, paint a soft and dreamy white briar rose on your sketchbook page. Focus on capturing the delicate petals, soft highlights, and subtle shadows that make this flower so magical. You can follow my composition or adjust it to make it your own.
Sharing Your Work:
Once you’ve finished, don’t forget to upload your painting in the “Your Project” section!
I’d love to see your progress, your final rose, and cheer you on. Feel free to include practice sheets or behind-the-scenes shots too.
