In this class, you'll learn to paint elegant wildflowers on a simple background. Using a limited palette & your wedge brush (or triangle brush), you'll create 6 cohesive designs on a 9x12 piece of watercolor paper that will be ready for framing. Or, simply paint them separately and use them for greeting cards, to add some lettering to, for name tags, gift tags, or anything else you might enjoy!
This class is for all levels. Some knowledge of watercolor and the wedge brush is helpful, but not required.
These aesthetically pleasing flowers are my "typical" wedge brush florals. If you've taken other classes of mine you'll likely be familiar with many of the strokes but also be introduced to some new ones.
Feel free to change up the color palette, but I do recommend keeping it simple. There is so much beauty and wonder in delicate, enchanting florals when not a lot of fuss is required to make them!
