Who this is for
If you love painting and want to learn how to be bold and confident with your paintings, then this is for you.
Learn everything you did in my in-person workshop, but so much more, because my online teaching platform has allowed me more flexibility and a broader range of what I can teach you.
Pink Starflower
This kind of flower is one of my most favorite ones to paint. It's stunning and bold yet delicate.
The goal for this project is to paint large, a half sheet painting, with the focus of how to shape and separate the petals, work with negative painting and adding background.
