Something for Halloween that's not orange, pumpkin, or decorative gourd? Check! Let's add a Gothic twist to the loose watercolor floral, and create a bouquet that's somehow as mopey and emo as it is fluid and fabulous.

In all seriousness, we'll also make the argument for using black, both as an opaque color to add graphic power, and as an ingredient in our paint mixes (because mud is just a pejorative name for a neutral.)

We'll break down Peonies, Dahlias, Coleus, Queen Anne's Lace, and black Roses into simple and easy to remember steps.

You'll create your own gracefully Gothic arrangement with just a little warmup time, simple materials, and a few visual tricks. I can't wait to paint with you!
