Floral Watercolor Painting
with Dianuh Kim of Chasing Linen
In this 3-hour class, we will learn the basics of watercolor and will go onto painting fun floral designs! We will first go over tools that the instructor prefers to use then cover different watercolor techniques. Once we’ve gone through the material, students will practice making watercolor strokes and washes before going onto painting flowers and leaves. This class holds 20 students max so each student will be able to receive one-on-one help from the instructor when needed. At the end of this class, you will be able to leave with your finished watercolor floral painting, own set of painting supplies and a fun new skill set that can be used for future projects! Materials are included in this workshop and students will not have to bring their own supplies.
Each student will take home a kit of Dianuh’s preferred supplies including watercolor palette with select paint colors, watercolor brush, paper, pencil, and their finished 9×12 illustration complete with a clear cover and hard backing.
