If you’ve always wanted to paint beautiful, loose-style watercolor flowers, but you haven’t found it to be as easy as it looks, this class is for you!

Inside this class, we will explore the underrated filbert brush and learn how to use it to create the effortless blooms you’ve always admired. From individual flowers, to peonies, to roses, wildflowers, and greenery - we’re covering it all in this comprehensive guide to filbert florals!

Here’s what you can expect from this class:

You’ll learn the primary differences between filbert and round brushes - and how you can utilize their distinct qualities to create beautiful, dynamic florals.
We’ll work through several practice exercises for painting flowers and leaves, and we’ll get comfortable holding the brush in different ways.
We will then practice painting individual loose style botanical elements like peonies, roses, leaf stems, and a range of other flowers.
Once we get all of that practice under our belts, we’ll get started on the class project: a beautiful floral composition. This will give us the perfect chance to explore all that our brushes have to offer and put our new skills into practice.

By the end of this course, you'll not only gain confidence handling the filbert brush, you’ll also develop a deeper understanding of the unique qualities that make watercolor florals so captivating.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone looking to refine your skills, this class is designed for watercolor artists of all levels. Gather your favorite filbert brushes, and let’s get started!
