Flowers in Pots and Spots

Online Art Class

Friday, July 24, 1 pm EDT

with Miriam Hughes

Flowers+in+pots+with+spots+full.jpg

Working from fresh flowers in vases or pots as your subject, you will create a fun watercolor ready to frame, make into greeting cards, or start your own line of posters.  Watercolor, pen and ink, and a bit of imagination helps.

You will learn how to not tell the whole story in your painting by letting open space complete the visual picture. We will discuss the importance of white space and how to allow the eye to travel through your painting.


Set up your own vase of flowers or you can work from Miriam’s bouquet live in this fun zoom interactive class! 

Simple supply list below.

$20/Person

Supply List

(Supplies can be purchased at Michaels, Amazon, Cheap Joe’s online or your local art supply store. Most are doing curb pick up or order online )

Supply List – For the Kitchen Window Workshop
1.
Watercolors – a minimum of three colors – red, yellow and blue.  I use a variety of watercolor brands and types – tube or pan. Ultramarine Blue, Hansa Yellow and Crimson (or any red, yellow or blue) Additional colors of your choice are encouraged.
2.
A number #10 or #12 Simply Simmons Round Watercolor (or whatever you have as long as it is a round)
3.
Watercolor paper – I use 140lb Arches Cold press paper.  It has a tooth to it, absorbs colors well and receives the ink easily, all which are important factors to me.  Right now use what you have but results will vary on cheaper paper. Sometimes that is good too!
4.
Black pen for inking afterwards – I use IDENTI.PEN from Sakura.  I use the fine point only.  The ink is permanent.  The tip of this pen is vinyl and holds up against the grain of the watercolor pen.  You can use any pen and/or pencil you desire. 
5.
Water – any source is good, and a water container
6.
Paper towels – about three sheets in a pile 4”x4” square will be fine.
