I don't know about you guys, but I just love chicories! They are so humble and beautiful, they look like a tiny pieces of sky fallen into the grass. They bloom in late summer throughout the autumn and you can see them in the meadows or by the roads.

This class is all about these lovely wild flowers.

We will explore the possibilities of combining traditional transparent watercolor to create warm, subtle, seamless background, and gouache paints for the chicory.

First we will spend some time to learn how to draw the chicory flowers, the stems, buds and leaves.

We will also have a brief talk about the color palette I chose for the Class Project, about the watercolor paints and the gouache paints we will work with.

The opacity of the gouache paints is something that is really special about them, they provide perfect coverage and highlights that are needed to bring the painting to life.
