This workshop focuses on beginning a gardenia painting with clarity and intention. The emphasis is on subtle values, water control, soft edges, and knowing when to pause rather than push.
The gardenia appears simple, but its quiet whites and layered petals invite a slower, more thoughtful approach. This workshop is designed to help you start painting confidently and understand how to continue without overworking it.

Some paintings ask us to slow down.
The gardenia is one of them.
At first glance, it appears simple — soft white petals, quiet elegance. But when you begin painting, you quickly discover the subtlety: whites within whites, gentle shifts in value, edges that must be felt rather than forced.
This workshop is an invitation to begin that process with clarity, patience, and confidence.
