create flowers from your imagination
I invite you to create a flower scene from your imagination. In the video lessons (3 hours in total) I will show you various mixed media techniques that you can use right away. From preparing your canvas and creating a layered background, to choosing your colours and a composition. And of course how you build up the fantasy flowers step by step with for example paper, markers and textiles.
You can participate in this course if you have been painting for a while, but also if you have no experience at all. The course encourages you to play and, most of all: to enjoy the process. A perfect result is a nice bonus! Do you also want to lose yourself in a dreamy flower field? Then join us!
a layered background
In the course you see me working on two panels of 40x20 cm. You think about your composition in advance, or it happens when you're working on your piece(s), depending on which way of working you prefer. It's also up to you if you want to paint larger close-up flowers or you want to suggest a large flower field. I'll explain different techniques for creating a layered background. In this background you can often already discover shapes that you could use for your flowers. The flowers are often already there, you are the one to discover them and work them out.
the flowers are already there
You design your fantasy flowers by either painting them, or by gluing pieces of torn paper, that you may or may not have drawn on in advance. Making the flowers is very intuitive. You don't have to think about it and you don't have to copy real flowers. Everything comes entirely from your imagination! If you still find it difficult to get started, I will give you tips how to find inspiration. You will notice that once you get going, you're unstoppable!
mixed media techniques
What I love about mixed media, is you don't need many materials to work with. As a basis, all you need is a canvas, acrylic paint and paper for your flowers. The rest is up to you! You could add pre-patterned paper, fabric, tea bags... or even dried flower petals. I encourage you to think out of the box, as there are many resources you could use in your piece. Having said that, you don't need much in order to follow the class, I show a list of materials below on this page.
what you learn in this course...
- Different techniques to set up a layered background;
- how to choose a balanced colour palette for your panels or canvases;
- to work with multiple compositions that you could use;
- design colourful flowers in a playful way;
- all the secrets of creating a cohesive piece of art step by step with mixed media techniques.
“The course was very inspiring and it was fun to learn to use different materials to work with. Also I’ve learnt a lot new techniques, like working with the seam roller.
I had to step out of my comfort zone for the tearing and gluing part, but that brought me even more fun!
Your work is beautiful and very inspiring and encourages me to paint myself. The course is very clear and it’s great to create step by step something I like. I am thinking about purchasing the other classes too.”
