Garden Blooms and Loose Strokes I-full

Let’s paint what’s blooming in season! Amy Brnger will teach an introductory flower painting workshop using flowers from our southern Maine gardens. Participants will bring their own local blooms and favorite vase (if you don’t have a garden, we will also have flowers for you). Amy will also bring her garden flowers and vase and we will arrange blooms together and then get painting!

Sunflowers! Two Sessions Online Sept 16 + 23

Join Amy as she works live, using sunflowers images from her southern Maine garden, exploring the energy of single session paintingusing these magnificent blooms. Each session will hone in on how to describe the sunflower without getting bogged down in every petal. Learn to use saturated, rich color with taming neutrals. She will emphasize stroke energy, patience with building your paintings.

All workshop participants have continued access to all course materials and recordings. You can also take the live workshop but watch the recordings later.

Additionally, you have access to a private forum. Your paintings made during the workshop will be reviewed by Amy. You can also give and receive feedback from other participants. Optional but instructive!
