Feeling burned out? Do you want to channel your creativity into paintings of harmonious beauty that will lift your spirits and bring you back to the joy of playing with color and mixed media? I felt the same way last winter, and that is why I created this new course, Painting Modern Expressive Flowers!  GIFT CERTIFICATES CAN BE EMAILED UPON REQUEST! :)

• Throughout the class, I'll emphasize how to achieve color harmony and pleasing compositions in your flower paintings and beyond.

• The course includes over 17 pre-recorded video tutorials that you download to keep, re-watch and learn from at your own pace. 

3 Finished Paintings -- you will walk away from this course with 3 finished mixed media floral paintings that you can hang on the wall or give as gifts (or sell!)

Special Perks

• Gorgeous Reference Photos (I will provide beautiful reference photos for each project and video tutorial. You may always use your own photos or live flowers, too)
• Shared Color Palette (So that you can truly follow along with me, all of the paintings will be done with 7 core colors plus white, gray, titan buff and black, For a low-budget alternative, I also show you how to substitute the colors you have at home already to get similar results).
• Community- Building Platform (I use Ruzuku so that we can share our work in our own private classroom)
