- Mini Project: Create a loose watercolor bouquet or a floral wreath
Week 3: Bringing the Garden to Life
Focus: Finishing a complete floral composition
- Planning out a botanical-inspired piece (background vs. foreground)
- Capturing details without overworking
- Using negative space for elegance
- Final Project: A full floral painting—choose from a bouquet, garden scene, or wildflower arrangement
A few friendly housekeeping notes before we paint:
• Ages 12+ please — all minors must be accompanied by a paying adult.
• I’ve got you covered on supplies! Everything you need is provided, so please leave personal art supplies at home. Using the same materials helps everyone follow along smoothly.
• Arrive a few minutes early to get comfy and settled. Late arrivals tend to pull focus from the group, and we don’t want anyone missing the fun.
• Bring your favorite food and beverage to sip or snack on while you paint — creativity pairs nicely with treats.
