$40 Supply Fee to the Instructor You've seen it on Instagram — those loose, painterly florals that look like the paint just did what it wanted. Effortless. Alive. Nothing like the tight, careful work you've tried before. This is the class where you learn how that actually works. The secret is in the underpainting. We'll start with a flowing color foundation, then layer expressive brushwork on top — peonies in a mason jar, wildflowers in a bucket, whatever blooms speak to you. You'll learn to trust the wet paint, let edges go soft where they want to, and resist the urge to fix everything. By the end of this session, you won't just have a beautiful painting. You'll have permission to let go. What You'll Learn: • Underpainting with color — how to build a glowing foundation before adding detail • The loose, impressionistic brushwork behind the florals you love on Instagram • How to keep colors clean and avoid muddy mixes • Edge control: when to let it blur and when to sharpen up • How to use happy accidents instead of fighting them Supplies: • Watercolor brushes (#6 and #2 round) • Watercolor paper (140 lb cold press, 9x12 or 6x9) • Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolors (10 set) • Palette (white ceramic plate or plastic), water jars, paper towels • Pencil & kneaded eraser • Optional: waterproof pen (Uni-Ball Signo 207 BOLD) Don't have supplies? A complete watercolor kit is available for purchase on the first day of class for $40. Bring cash or Venmo — it covers everything you need to get started.
