Here's a description of each of our special projects:
Warm-up - PAINTING MEDITATION: FEEL YOUR WAY THROUGH
Our journey begins with a simple technique that creates beautiful effects with limited effort. This warm-up exercise is a great way to connect with your spirit and paint meditatively through simple dripping and painting techniques. When I am feeling stuck in my painting process this exercise helps me to quiet my mind and release any blocks that are holding me back. It is a great way to begin your painting session.
lesson 1 - leaves
In this lesson, we will begin by using simple brushwork, dripping and blending techniques to create leaves. We are going to learn what it means to let go and let the materials do the work for you. I love all of the beautiful, varied effects you can achieve with this technique. This will set the foundation for our work together.
lesson 2 - flowers
In this lesson, we will use the techniques we learned in the leaves lesson and apply them to flowers. We will let go of our need to control the outcome and trust the process. Leave your perfectionism at the doorway and walk through this lesson with the mantra, “Let go of control and the flower will become what it needs to be.”
lesson 3 - BLURRING AND BLENDING TECHNIQUES
Now that we have learned the foundational techniques to paint in this style, we are going to move onto blurring and blending. This technique will allow you to create washy, ethereal effects with water and a bit of surrender. We will walk through this process step by step together as we learn that there are no mistakes, just opportunities to create beautiful art.
lesson 4 - INTUITIVE FLORALS
In this lesson, we will combine all of the techniques we have learned and begin to tap into our intuition to create magical, ethereal florals. There is so much more that goes into painting in this style than just techniques. Let’s connect with our intuition and allow our spirits to play. As we let go and play the flowers will emerge as they need to and the beauty will happen in unexpected ways. Be kind to yourself while creating and trust the process.
BONUS LESSON - CROPPING MAGIC
In this lesson, we are going to take our allover floral paintings and crop them using templates. This is a fun exercise that will transform your painting into a finished masterpiece. We will also play with cropping your paintings to make bookmarks and cards.
Together we will explore the following:
Quieting your mind and spirit to create a meditative space to work through
Practice letting go of control and surrendering to the process
Allow the materials to do the work for you
Create leaf and flower shapes with the use of simple brushwork
Build interest and beauty within those shapes using color blending and dripping techniques
Use blurring and blending techniques to create ethereal effects.
Work with your intuition to create beautiful abstract florals.

Supply List
This is a list of what I’ll be using in the class. I am including the paint brands and colors, but you can use whatever you have on hand. I am a believer that just because certain supplies work for me, that doesn’t mean they will work for you and your style of painting. Use the supplies that resonate best with you.
