This immersive flower painting workshop invites artists to explore the expressive power of light, color, and movement through a vibrant floral still life. Designed for painters who want to loosen up their brushwork and energize their process, the class focuses on creating believable yet impressionistic flowers using an alla prima (wet-into-wet) approach.   

Working from a carefully arranged floral still life, students will learn how to interpret–rather than copy–what they see. The emphasis is on capturing the effects of light on petals, the temperature shifts within shadows, and the rhythmic movement of stems and blooms. Instead of carefully rendering every detail, participant will use intentional, confident brushstrokes to suggest form, allowing color and gesture to do much of the storytelling. The goal is not botanical accuracy, but emotional truth–flowers that feel alive, luminous, and in motion.

By the end of the workshop, students will leave with energetic, visually exciting paintings–and a deeper understanding of how intentional brushwork, vibrant color, and confident decisions can transform a simple floral arrangement into a compelling work of art.
