Focusing on capturing the spirit and form of flowers using both still-life setups and photo references, you will gain hands-on practice with color saturation, blending, and texture application unique to oil paints. Whether you are picking up a brush for the very first time or looking to refine your technique, you will walk away with a deeper understanding of light, composition, and edge control, along with the confidence to create stunning, lifelike floral works on canvas.
