Have you ever wanted to jump into painting flowers but aren't sure where to start? What about exploring new mediums like Gouache or India ink? 

This class is a great introduction to using the mediums of Gouache and Ink together. In it, through two different examples, I show you how I construct a balanced composition using Ink and Gouache, how I use a photo reference as inspiration, and how I reduce the flower shape to its very essence. Some of the inspiration for these paintings come from photos, and some from my imagination. I hope this class helps you explore some of the possibilities of this medium!

In this class, we'll cover: 

• How to use a photo for inspiration 


• How to think through constructing your composition 


• How to abstract / simplify some basic floral elements 


• How to add interesting details to your painting 


• How to paint with Gouache 


• How to add details with an ink dip pen and India ink
