In this beginner-friendly oil painting class, you’ll create a vibrant abstract/expressive floral composition inspired by bold color palettes and loose, dynamic brushwork. We’ll explore layering, blending, and impasto techniques to capture energy and movement, while encouraging personal interpretation. By the end, you’ll have a textured, colorful floral painting ready to display — and the confidence to keep experimenting with expressive styles. A supply list can be found here. Limited to 10.
