One Day Watercolour Flowers Workshop with Zoe Duncan

Description

Join us for a really wonderful day spent truly luxuriating in the world of flowers with local artist Zoë Duncan. Using freshly picked seasonal blooms, you will have the opportunity to study their unique structures, forms and colours before learning to paint your own interpretations. You will be taught how to choose a flower that appeals to you, (from images and also an abundance of real flowers in the studio), how to make a pleasing composition, and then how to tackle painting your chosen bloom. As this is a longer workshop, we can really take our time to explore the structure of the flowers, learn how best to apply the paint, to make a convincing painting. You will learn the techniques of wet on wet to make a colour blush in soft transitions across a petal, as well as learning the wet on dry techniques needed to make convincing details such as stamens and anthers. Your tutor, our lovely friend, Zoë, is a professional watercolour artist, who not only creates expressive, loose paintings of floral compositions, but who also takes great delight in painting very exacting botanical illustrations. She is the perfect person to help you with your individual style. This will be a day to really slow down and immerse yourself in the beauty of flowers and painting. By the end of the session, not only will you have a deeper appreciation for the natural beauty of flowers, but you will also have created stunning pieces of art that reflect your personal vision and creativity. All of the fresh flowers we will be using will have been grown locally in Where Inspiration Blooms co-founder, Caroline’s garden. Caroline is a member of Flowers from the Farm and a very experienced cut flower grower, having taught a Grow Your Own Cut Flowers Course for us for many years. Zoë will also have a wide selection of images as reference materials, or you are very welcome to bring flowers from your own garden. This class is suitable for absolute beginners, as well as more experienced painters.
