Creating Abstract Florals: Using Watercolors, Ink, Colored Pen or Pencil

If you love painting and want to have a daily practice to discover your style and develop a looser style, then this class is for you. Grab your brushes and pens, and let’s get started.

For the last few years I have been working with watercolor and incorporating color and texture into my work. You will learn my tips on how I have incorporated these techniques using watercolor, ink, colored pen and pencil in my work to create abstract florals. You can use these techniques to start a daily practice in your sketchbook or build your portfolio using different techniques and apply them to your own work and subject matter.

In this class you will learn how to:

• Use watercolor to create the basic shapes of a floral
• Use pen and ink to create line drawings
• Use ink, colored pen and pencil to create layers and textures on watercolor for a dynamic floral painting
• Techniques you can use to create your own abstract floral

For your class project you will be creating an abstract floral using the techniques and tips shared in this class.

Whether you are a beginner or have some experience with this, you will be able to use these lessons to develop a daily practice or add to your existing style.

So let’s get to it – see you in class!
