Description
Explore the beauty of botanical art through the vibrant form of the poinsettia or other flowers. In this mixed-media painting workshop, participants will create a personal floral artwork using watercolour, acrylic, ink, pencil, and optional collage or textile elements. Through a slide presentation of floral works from contemporary art history, participants will draw inspiration for observation, colour mixing, composition, and layered painting—culminating in a finished piece that reflects their unique artistic voice.
All materials included.
