Welcome to Naïve Doodles | Contemporary Gouache or Watercolour Florals!
I've ascribed this a 'suitable for all' category, as I do cover some gouache fundamentals with plenty of preliminary practise, but it's also suited to intermediate level students who can just choose to do the project part, or for seasoned artists who fancy trying something different to their usual style.
We're grabbing our brightest colours for this riot of naïve-style florals. I'll be taking you through materials, how to use watercolour instead of gouache, practise runs with our florals, before bringing all of our favourite flowers together in our class project.
This class is perfect for:
- those of you who need regular breaks. Because of the style of painting, we can leave at any point and come back to it when you're ready to add more motifs....... or you can come along with me for one whole painting session!
- the gathering of floral motifs for you to embrace as your own. (I often use the Michaelmas Daisy shapes and pinnate leaves in my work)
- those of you who want to transition from watercolour to gouache, as you can use either of these mediums to create your florals. Or you could use both! I filmed a little demo of me using watercolour, which you'll find after materials.
We're also working with balance, using the placement of colour, size, shape and depth.
For example:
- we'll be using a Pastel wash background, then layers of bright flowers. We'll also be using flat layers then as we go along we will begin to use thicker paint.
- Another balancing component will be our use of complementary colours. Primary Blue, Yellow, Red with Secondary Orange, Violet & Green. Placing Complementary colours in a relaxed way, can heighten each colours' vibrancy and 'presence'
I aim to provide classes which are;
Informative
Relaxing
Fun
I hope I've been successful in that with this class :O)

Hello :O) I am so happy to have you here!
I'm Holly and I'm an art teacher/sharer both on Skillshare & Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@hollytomasdesign I paint flowers and leaves for the most part, particularly wildflowers, as I am surrounded by so much inspiration, living, as I do, in rural Scotland.
I love exploring new techniques, and I'm very keen on finding brush strokes and media which make painting just that little bit less challenging for us, whilst gently broadening our knowledge.... I always say 'easy but effective' is the way forward! My classes are mostly watercolour and gouache, but I also delve into mixed media & leaf printing.
I have a humble little mission statement :0) .... 3 facets which are really important to me, when I am considering ... Ver perfil completo
Proyecto de clase práctica
Create your own Contemporary Naïve florals! You could follow along with me, right through to the end, or get off the train at any stop! lol You could also create your own fantasy flowers or colour palette.
As I demonstrated, it's totally fine to use watercolours for this class. You could either create tints with white watercolour, ink or Dr Ph Martin's bleedproof for example, or buy a tube of white gouache and mix your favourite watercolours with that.
Choose your brightest colours.... any ones you like. You don't need to have the exact same colours that I use.
I'm using primary colours of Blue, Red, Yellow and secondary colours of Green, Purple & Orange. Adding white is a wonderful way to balance out the 'neat paint' flowers.
Create gentle layers of elements, starting with a wash and building up to using paint neat towards the end of the class.
Then, let the doodling commence!! Get out your favourite fine liners, pencils, pastels, gel pens or whatever you want to bring to this painting and create naïve-style details on your flowers and leaves to really lean into the contemporary floral feel :O)
Doodling is good for our health after all! It creates an environment where our brains can allow a lot of the head chatter to dissipate... but also provides a focus.
For any one of us, but particularly my neurodivergent followers, this is the perfect balance. We sometimes find the usual meditative/silent approach actually very stressful. So, by allowing the brain to rest on an activity whilst simultaneously reducing the 'head chatter', it can be a soul-refreshing experience! :O)
