How it works
Format, access & language
Good fit if...
- You paint florals but they end up muddy or shapeless
You know what you want the flower to look like, but washes bleed and petals lose form halfway through. - You have tried tutorials and want a course with real order to it
A sequenced curriculum gives each technique a proper place in your practice - 14 projects, each building on the last. - You took a break from painting and want a re-entry point
You have some experience but need a guided sequence to rebuild your practice around florals. - You want to move from hobby sketches to finished paintings
You are ready for a course that produces 14 complete paintings you can frame or gift.
What you learn
- Paint from basic washes to layered blooms
Start with single-petal exercises, build to multi-layer floral compositions across 14 projects. - Sketch flowers before you paint them
Learn petal anatomy, stem placement, and proportions so your drawings guide your brushwork. - Mix colour without muddying your washes
Practise colour theory inside each project so you see how mixing choices affect the finished flower. - Finish 14 paintings you can frame or share
Each project is designed to produce a complete work - something worth framing.
What to expect
- Identify why a petal looks wrong and know which brush angle, pressure, or timing to adjust.
- Paint with cleaner washes, better layering, and less muddiness.
- Arrange multiple flowers in a composition with deliberate spacing, colour balance, and focal points.
- Know what to revisit next instead of starting from zero every time you return to florals.
A good course leaves you with a method you can repeat on your own.
This one gives you 14 paintings and the techniques to keep going after the last lesson.
