Let's Paint Autumn Watercolor Florals with a Hint of Blue

Orange and blue are complementary colors. Combining them in a painting creates a stunning contrast that sets it apart from the traditional autumn themes.

Together, they create a harmonious balance to the viewer’s eyes with warm colors such as reds and oranges evoking warmth and passion, while the blues give the feeling of calmness.

This class is designed to spark your creativity and challenge you to craft a fall color palette that's truly unique. I will share the thought process starting from the reference photo, and then move on to the color mixing and arranging of the floral elements on paper.

In this class, we will go through the materials that you need. Next, you will learn to mix different autumn colors that you can customize on your own by simply changing the ratio of the colors. We will also do a simple and fun exercise to get acquainted with this unique color palette.

You’ll learn how to incorporate blue to 3 watercolor autumn projects such as adding it in a wreath to create a harmonious flow, using it as a secondary flower to complement the main elements, and adding it as a filler to create a captivating contrast to the bouquet

I recommend this class for beginner students who have been dabbling with watercolor for a while and for seasoned artists who want to explore a new autumn color palette.
