About the course

Way back in 2013 as a watercolor newbie, I would often get frustrated as what appeared on watercolor paper did not match what I had imagined in my mind. I had wanted to paint beautiful roses but would always end up just blobs of paint. 5 years of learning from mistakes and from other amazing artists has made me a much better watercolorist today than I was way back then. And those are what I would like to share with you in this class. It is my sincere hope that watching my classes would shorten that learning curve for you, and I am hoping that you would be able to pick up some new techniques.

This class is for beginners and I made it really easy to follow. We will talk about choosing materials, holding brushes, and painting different brush strokes to form a flower. I will be sharing with you my favorite rose technique! As the class progresses, we will be adding some leaves and fillers. This will enable you to form a mini floral bouquet by the end of the class. These mini floral bouquets may be used for invitations, greeting cards, or as gifts. Many, such as myself, display these in our homes or workplaces to have something to appreciate in the middle of a busy day.

And of course, I am going to give you tips on how to not end up with just blobs on your paper.

 

Remember to enjoy the process of painting. 

Happy Painting!

What can you learn from this course?

For our class project, you will be painting your own small floral bouquet. Feel free to let your own style shine thru your painting. Remember to have fun and don’t overthink!

  1. You may start by getting inspiration from different flower arrangements. Observe how each flower complements each other on the bouquet. You may choose 2-3 main flowers to start with.
  2. Prepare your paint, paper, brush and water jar. And perhaps you may want to turn on some music too!
  3. For your main flowers, you may choose to use your favorite color first. Add some fillers and leaves to fill in the gaps.
  4. Post your class project in the gallery so that we can all see your beautiful creation. You may also post your work-in-progress photos.
  5. If you’re going to post it on instagram, use the hashtag #jolypoa_skillshare . I would love to share your project! When I was a watercolor newbie, the encouragement from the art community really helped me and boosted my confidence. I would love to see your progress!
