Summer Florals
In this workshop, participants will follow along to craft a beautiful, multi layered floral artwork. Attendees will learn the method of painting an abstract base watercolour layer to help encompass the essence of the flower colours. Participants will draw several layers of flowers on a semi transparent paper that will layer over one another to create a soft depth to the piece. At the end of the workshop, participants can choose to trim their artwork to a standard frame size so they can be displayed when they take them home or gifted.
