Floral Workshop with Ann Willsie - Waitlist

Cost: Free

Ann Willsie

Impressionistic Florals with Ann Willsie, SFCA

 

We are excited to announce that Ann will be offering Online Floral Workshop via zoom in the summer.

Workshop Overview (4 Sessions):

This workshop is designed for all levels - all mediums welcome. Ann will be working in oils. There is no better way to learn how to paint flowers than to paint them from life.

Each session will start with a discussion of process, touching on values, blocking in big shapes, what to leave in/out, choosing background colors, etc., followed by some exercises to get the creative juices flowing. Ann will be following this with a demo, and then each student will be doing a painting of their own still-life of flowers.

When painting florals Ann tries to capture the essence of what she sees before her; the gesture of the arrangement, be it line, rhythm, and/or the flow of the composition in front of me. As artists we get caught up in trying to reproduce exact replicas of what we see, getting lost in the detailing, instead of trying to capture the soul of what is before you. Ask yourself this –What is it about this particular flower or still life that stirs me? Is it the colors? the line and movement? The intricate design? Or perhaps it is the play of light and shadows falling across the petals and leaves. This will be the focus of the workshop. The goal is to loosen you up and to help you see the big picture, not the details.
