Step-by-step Lessons Included
Is knowing how much water and color to use challenging?
Do your flower paintings look too cute or overworked?
When trying to retain highlights, do they look messy and out of control?
In this course, you will learn how to change the composition, flow color, and, most importantly, gracefully retain highlights.
Tulips are beautiful flowers, but painting them can be a little tricky. You can always keep it cute and simple, like Easter eggs on sticks, but making an engaging, thought-provoking story is another thing.
