About this event
Join Steve in this revised 4-week course that focuses on floral subject matter. We will use a high-resolution photo reference to help us understand how to simplify the complex beauty of flowers with the effortless look of the impressionist style. For anyone who took the 3-week version of this class in April of 2026, please note that our reference will be simpler this time, with the added advantage of an extra fourth session. This program is open to oil painters of all levels, from beginner to advanced. Oil Painting Flowers - Supply List ( Same as Beginner Oil Painting) Small painting panel or canvas: Primed (solid white) 11”x14” is the ideal size.
