Impressionist Floral Studies in Acrylics

Impressionist Floral Studies in Acrylics

For those who love flowers and Impressionism, this is a perfect course. It is intended for beginners to intermediate level artists with a desire to learn or expand their knowledge how to paint Impressionist floral arrangements. The course is divided into three major sections, each focusing on a specific aspect of floral depiction based on the following subjects: 1.) A flower close up, 2.) An iris flower bouquet, and 3.) Plein - air hollyhocks. Each section is divided into 4-6 sub-sections providing specific information and guidance. Following the step-by-step instructional videos, participants will then be able to complete three assignments with ease. Among others, the course objectives are to become familiar with the heavy paint application (Impasto technique), expressive, spontaneous brush strokes, and the use of arbitrary colours. All projects will be completed with acrylic paints though participants can easily substitute them with oils or use a combination of both paints (with oils following acrylics on top). The brushes and palette knives will be used to achieve various types of texture. Participants can paint either on canvas, wooden panel or watercolour paper. By completing all assigned projects, participants will be provided with set of skills necessary to continue creating their own floral paintings in Impressionist style. They will be encouraged to use their own photo references as well as the original floral arrangements as foundations for their own art creations. The possibilities are limitless. You will enjoy learning this type of art while also having lots of fun.
