Assignment:
Your project for this class is to create a loose watercolor floral arrangement.
Feel free to follow along with the class or design your own flowers and color palette.

Class Resources:

a printable sketching sheet you can use to practice drawing the botanical elements
a small guide with the list of materials and brands that I suggest
a PDF with botanical references to help you complete your practice
a sketch of the composition of the final project

Getting Started:
Begin by reading the course introduction and learn which materials you will need.

Then, experiment with the wet-on-wet technique. This technique will be fundamental for achieving the loose style and it's a great way to learn how color and water interact.

Next, learn the basics for drawing simple botanical elements. Focus on getting creative with the general shapes and outlines of your elements without getting too hung up on specific details. We will adapt the drawings you experiment with in this step to the loose watercolor style.

Next, practice painting each element that will be part of the final composition individually. Work at your own pace and give yourself time to soak up all the information and skills you've been cultivating so far.

Finally, put all the pieces together in your unique way and create your loose watercolor floral arrangement. Give your painting balance and harmony by applying the composition tips and techniques you learn throughout the course.

Sharing your Work
At the end of this class, you can upload your class project by clicking on the Create Project tab above the resources list. Feel free to share any stage of your work - your sketches, doodles, your practice, or just your final project. You don’t have to do it all at once… Take your time and feel free to share any part of your work.
