Flower Painting Workshop

Besotted by blossoms! I'll happily paint flowers all year long, but I truly love this season when they're all so fresh and sweet and feel like a reward for having successfully mucked through the winter. 

I've learned a lot about painting flowers over the past couple of years, and I'm excited to pass on my revelations: colour mixing, mark-making, paint layering, and building an interesting composition will all be part of my next day-long workshop at the studios. Come paint with me!





This 6-hour workshop will take an impressionistic approach to painting flowers, using colour and value to render our subject. I'll give a live demonstration in the morning, and set you to your own compositions in the afternoon. Experience helpful but not required! 

Full list of materials sent upon booking.

Dutch Treat

 I love black parrot tulips so much that I grew some of my own just so I could paint them. This background isn't William Morris, but is an anonymous fabric swatch I've had forever and have been too precious to use in actual sewing. So I thought I'd paint that, too! The little Dutch windmill vase I found at a charity shop and it felt like a perfect pairing.
