"Flowers are the music of the ground. From Earth’s lips spoken without sound.”(E. Curran)
Would you like to create better, stronger, and pleasing compositions?
This new workshop is focused on Flower and Still Life Composition: will explain the main rules, how to apply these rules in your work and how to arrange the various components to create a successful painting.
Setting up your still life or understanding how to combine flowers are part of the creative process and once you feel more confident with the composition choices you will start to notice a difference in your finished pieces.
We will use flowers as an opportunity to focus on the arrangement of color and light, the relationship between objects and space, and different composition approaches.
For the first time, I will also talk about how to design Close-up Flower Compositions, exploring patterns of shapes and values.
It’s a composition that defines an image… So come and join my new journey through the watercolor world!
