Paint a Minimalistic Florals: Strelitzia
Inside this watercolor course
Let’s dive into the floral world with a new perspective!
Let’s focus solely on a flower and colors, and forget about the composition and complications of a background. Let’s keep the background clean and the flower simple using the alla-prima technique. And have fun mixing all those vibrant colors.
YOU WILL DISCOVER
Wet-on-dry watercolor technique
And paint the whole flower using this one technique!
Mixed wash
Do not miss out on special exercises to practice creating stunning mixed washes!
Negative space
You will briefly use the negative space technique to create petal outlines.
Alla prima technique
At the end of the course, you will realize that you painted a whole artwork just in one attempt without coming back to the same layer. This means you used alla prima technique!
Minimalism
Finally, you will create a piece where a single flower is at the center of attention. Your painting will look amazing in a minimalistic interior.
In this course, you will create a simple yet beautiful bird of paradise flower mastering your mixed wash. Every petal and sepal will be performed in a mixed wash and in one attempt. Tempting?
