Paint-at-your-own-pace with the step-by-step lessons.
Immediate access
Relax, unwind, and learn to paint flowers easily in a looser style. It seems like it should be easy to paint loosely, but most people tend to paint exactly what they see and every little detail. Here's the secret: keep the line drawing as simple as possible and increase the water you're using. Experiment with different brushes and the amount of pressure you apply, and let go of control to let the painting paint itself.
The course includes 11 different paintings.
Paint when you want, go at your own pace, and when the time is right, lessons are recorded to fit into your schedule and life. Learn to gain confidence, be inspired, challenge yourself, and paint beautiful paintings. All lessons are broken into bite-size, easy-to-follow steps.
This is a great course for all levels of artists.
No drawing skills required.
“I've learned so much in this class. From softening lines to evaluating the painting, it's been so informative and I'm excited to apply what I've learned to something I design myself.” Debra Dunlap
