À propos de ce cours
Flower paintings have always been one of my go to things to paint and relax with, because they can be as simple or as complex as you make them to be. In this class I will share with you how to control your brush strokes in order to paint singular petals, that you will then be able to combine and create your own flower variations.
I’ve separated the lessons for these exercises, so you can take the time to practice and repeat the strokes and shapes as many times as you’d like before applying them all to a final composition. I will also share my thoughts on the brushes which I find would benefit this kind of paintings.
For the final painting, I’ve created 12 types of flowers that you can paint along to. These flowers use the strokes and techniques which I will go over in the exercises, and these are some examples of the things you can create. But of course, you can also make your own variations with customized colours if you have other ideas.
In the painting demonstration, I will both sketch as well as swatch colours, so beginners who might be intimidated to paint freehand, might get used to this method to get a bit more comfortable with the shapes and colours beforehand.
Though I will be painting freehand, for those of you who are not comfortable with this idea, I will have the downloadable outline ready in the projects and resources section. And you can use this to trace lightly onto your watercolor paper, so don’t worry if you’re new to painting.
The class is made for all levels including beginners, as it’s very open to interpretation. In the lessons, I will paint in real time, but I will be cutting the footage where my hand is off the camera, to get the class going and you don’t have to wait when I’m just sitting idle and thinking or waiting for things to dry. I understand that everyone paints at different speeds, so if you want to paint along, please pause in between steps, so you can paint at your own comfortable speed, and even have some time to practice certain strokes and do small trials whenever you need to, without feeling rushed.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, come join me in this class and let's begin!

Hi, I'm Nia. I'm a graphic design graduate from Curtin University, Western Australia, who loves to paint with watercolours. In my final year, my teachers back in university noticed that most of my design works incorporate watercolours. So I guess I picked up the medium by accident, but now I'm totally in love with them. They're so versatile, flexible and wild at the same time. There are times you need to tame and control them, but there are also times you let the watercolour do its thing!
Mid 2017 I started a watercolor YouTube channel, nianiani and I was quite amazed at the response, I also realised how much I loved uploading videos and sharing tutorials. I started teaching art and watercolour end of last year to children and adults, as a part time job and I thought to myself, w... Voir le profil complet
Projet de cours pratique
For the class project, if you’re a beginner I’d like you to practice these petal shapes that I’ve demonstrated, so you can get used to the feel of the brush and flow of the paint. Then once you feel comfortable, You can paint some of these flowers that I’ve demonstrated. It’s up to you weather u want to paint all 12 or just pick some of your favourites.
But for those of you who are more intermediate levels, feel free to either paint along to the final composition or even make your own floral variations using the strokes and shapes that I’ve demonstrated in the beginning of this class.
Once you’re done with the projects, please post it in the project section to share it with other students this way I can also take a look and leave a comment or a like. It always excites me to see the things that you create based on these classes!
