Celebrate the peak of late summer by capturing the vibrant, fluid beauty of a poppy. In this relaxed, single-session workshop, we will focus on bringing these delicate yet bold flowers to life on canvas.
This workshop is designed to build both your technical skills and your creative confidence. Rather than worrying about strict perfection, you’ll learn how to embrace loose brushwork, capture dramatic light, and use bold color combinations to create a piece that feels alive.
What you’ll learn:
- How to blend rich late-summer colors (crimsons, warm oranges, and deep greens).
- Techniques for painting loose, expressive petals with depth and movement.
- Tips for creating a balanced composition that draws the eye.
Whether you are a total beginner looking for a creative, stress-relieving afternoon or an experienced painter wanting to play with a new subject, you’ll leave with a finished painting and a refreshed creative spirit.
*Some essential materials are provided. (A list of recommended paints will be sent upon registration).
