Floral Study in Watercolor

This is a drawing workshop taught by artist, Michelle Boerio. 

Have fun painting with watercolor, whether you’re used to painting with a different medium or have never held a paint brush. In this one-time workshop with instructor Michelle Boerio, we will create a playful floral painting that uses watercolor and other drawing materials. No experience with art is required, this class welcomes all skill levels. All supplies are provided by the instructor, but students are welcome to bring their own paints and brushes if desired. The class kicks off with an hour dedicated to hands-on learning watercolor fundamentals, covering tips, setup techniques, and viewing demonstrations on painting the subject matter, color matching, and creating color studies. Students can follow along, receiving critiques and having their questions answered.

In the second hour, students have the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned by completing their own painting. Choose from a selection of photo references, combining the class concepts to craft a final study.

This class is crafted to introduce students to watercolor, equipping them with the tools to continue practicing independently. Recognizing the challenges of watercolor, the goal is to guide students onto the right path, encouraging them to have fun, make mistakes, and learn from the process.
