Summer Watercolor: Fresh Flower Series


I am excited to offer this Summer painting Series in partnership with local grower Farmer Lady Flowers! Using watercolor as our primary medium, we will work through a series of assignments in painting vibrant summer florals. Assignments will challenge you to bring more expression to your work, and to be selective about detail. All with an overarching focus on gracefully rendering complex compositions and space.

In an effort to encourage engagement with the Summer season and support local farmers, each student will receive a freshly picked flower bouquet for every class session. In addition to looking pretty on your table, these flowers will function as our beautiful subject matter. See how the blooms and variety change with the season. Contactless flower pickup will take place in Allentown NJ from 10-2 on the Saturday before class.

Class time is a combination of meeting to share, discuss, and critique our work, and short video demonstrations. I’ll do my best to foster a comfortable environment and support the camaraderie that my students tend to be so good at creating.
