Paint Expressive Florals: A 7 Day Watercolor Challenge

For this 7-day challenge, I will be guiding you through painting seven different species of watercolor florals in a playful illustrative style.  We will be looking at the materials you will need if you are brand new to watercolor and where to find inspiration. I’ll be explaining my painting choices along the way, and how and why I use certain materials to help guide you. This class is all about encouraging you to find your own style of watercolor florals, with my techniques as your starting inspiration!

As a bonus video, I will share how to scan and clean up your illustrations in Photoshop. I encourage you to complete all florals in 7 days in a row, but you are welcome to stop and come back to finish at anytime at your own pace. Doing this challenge consistently over one week will help you stay in the groove, and help you to develop your style intuitively. 

This class is great for beginner watercolor artists, but is also for any experience level.
