Under expert guidance, you’ll discover techniques to mix colors and shades, create depth, and add stunning details to bring your floral paintings to life. We’ll begin by practicing the use of gouache, mixing colors, and sketching. We’ll also explore various techniques for using paint brushes and painting different textures.
