À propos de ce cours
Let's paint a colourful floral greetings card with gouache paint!
In this class I'll show you step by step how to create a bold and beautiful handpainted floral card. You can do this project in your sketchbook too.
This class is suitable for beginners and I'll talk you through:
- How to achieve the right consistency of gouache paint
- How to build up your design beginning with the main floral and leaf elements then adding smaller details of buds and pollen
- How to add optional finishing touches for highlights on petals and leaves, experimenting with Necolor IIs, fineliner and pencil.
By the end of the class not only will you be feeling more confident using gouache paint and painting bold flowers, but you'll have a go-to card design that you can repeat over and over with a different look each time! I found this project SO much fun to create I've already made six more designs. I can't wait for you to have fun painting with gouache too.
This class is designed to be a fun and relaxed painting session where you can create something beautiful with no pressure. All you need is a paintbrush, gouache paint and something to paint on – a card blank or your sketchbook.
I've been making cards for over 13 years and I run a small business called StickerKitten designing and making papercraft supplies including paper packs, stamp sets and stickers. My crafting style is clean, simple and colourful – I love using painted elements in my handmade cards and I want to share that enjoyment with you too.
Let's jump in!

Projet de cours pratique
Your class project is to create a hand-painted floral card using gouache paint. Follow along step by step to create a floral card design like mine, or change it up to create something completely your own! Our process is as follows:
1. Tape up the card blank (or sketchbook page) to create a border.
2. Find some floral inspiration – I show you some fun and simple sketchbook designs, or you can take inspiration from your own garden or local park.
3. Sketch the flower and leaf designs in pencil, then rub out a little to leave a fainter outline.
4. Paint in the main elements one colour layer at a time. I'll show you how to achieve just the right consistency of gouache!
5. Add in some buds, dots of pollen and flicks of grass to fill the space between your main elements.
6. Experiment with finishing touches in your sketchbook – you might like the look of pencil, fineliner or Neocolor IIs.
7. Add the highlights and finishing touches to the petals and leaves on your card, and peel off the tape for the final reveal!
Whether you follow along exactly or create your own completely different version, I'd love to see your projects! Please do upload them to the project gallery here on Skillshare and let's celebrate each others' beautiful different styles of art.
