We will learn how to paint beautiful flowers by first studying Fantin-Latour master works. These exercises will improve your sense of perception. We will then recreate a floral still life and paint from life. Through close observation, we will cover topics such as abstract value composition, gestural dynamics, flower shape, and flower texture.

  • SUPPORTS
  • One to two mounted canvas , 11” x 14" or smaller
  • Or Canson canvas paper pad (2 sheets)
  • BRUSHES
  • Different brushes have different size system, so I generally look for a range of sizes like the size of a thumb, a pinky or a ring finger. Bring the brushes you have and chances are that they are enough. If you have no brushes, then get a couple small synthetic brushes in the size below
  • #6, #8 filberts
  • Bristle #10 or #12 filberts
  • One small round synthetic brush #4
  • MEDIUMS
  • Linseed oil or what you have
  • DRAWING MATERIALS (optional)
  • Soft vine charcoal

  • OIL PAINTS
  • Again, bring what you have and chances are that you have enough for this workshop. If you are beginning, buy professional-grade only - Daniel Smith Artists' Materials, Gamblin, Sennelier, Winsor & Newton, Rembrandt and Holbein are all suitable.
