À propos de ce cours
Do you love loose watercolor florals but can’t seem to loosen up your paintings? Do you find yourself clutching the brush too hard and end up with a tight painting instead? This class will help you through this!
I’m Tammy Kaye, artist and therapist working in Kansas. I paint mostly florals and some landscapes in a loose style. I also love to mix self-care in with my watercolor teaching to help you let go of making perfect art so you can just have fun!
In this class we’ll talk about:
- How to place the first watercolor layer
- How to apply the second one for depth
- How to practice your creative intuition
- How to let go of perfect
I teach watercolor across a number of platforms and lately, students have been telling me their struggle with painting flower shadows so there’s depth and dimension. They’ve been trying to follow tutorials on how to do it but have been feeling stuck. It can be hard to keep your colors from running together.
This class is perfect for beginners but it’s also for experienced artists and can be either a new experience or a refresher class. As you practice the activities and final projects, I hope you find a new sense of confidence in painting in your blooms.
So let's get to it!

Hello, I'm Tammy! I'm a watercolor artist and mental health therapist who loves painting loose florals and landscapes. My strongest passion is teaching you how to paint WITHOUT fear and perfectionism so you can let go and play. Because of my mental health background, I love to mix self-care with the art I create to help you enjoy the painting process, not just the end result.

Projet de cours pratique
In this class, you’ll learn how to create watercolor flowers that have depth and pop off the page. No more feeling like you can’t get the paint consistency right to get those sleek textures and shadows.
For your final project, the main steps in your project are:
- How to place the first watercolor layer
- How to apply the second one for depth
- How to practice your creative intuition
- How to let go of perfectionism
In your final project, I will be looking for the following things:
- Completion of the project, rather than painting a certain way or perfectly. The point is that you try!
- Sharing a bit about your experience with the class
Materials you will need:
- Watercolor paint (either tubes or a ready-made palette)
- Watercolor paper (either professional or student quality)
- Water jar
- Large and medium round paint brushes (I use round brushes in sizes #6 and #12 but use what you have)
- Paper towel for dabbing
I encourage you to complete the final project and post it to document your progress. When you are ready to share your final piece, please upload it to the Project Gallery to share with others and get feedback. If you share on social media, please tag me at #tammykayeart so I can also see it!
