It’s always sunny when there is a sunflower in the room. We will paint a single sunflower as well as sunflowers in a landscape. Learn to paint flowers that breathe. Techniques include painting wet in wet, the pressure stroke, negative painting and spattering. Novice to advanced.

  • All students must comply with the Policies and Procedures found on The Center's website. There will be no refunds for students removed from class for failure to observe The Center’s Policies and Procedures.

  • • 140 lb cold press Arches WATERCOLOR PAPER, cut or torn to 11 x 15” or a

  • 9 x 12” cold press block. A small watercolor sketchbook is handy for

  • experimenting and taking notes. I use a Canson Montval Field Watercolor

  • ArtBook, 7 x 10”.

  • • Nos. 8, 10 and 12 round brushes. Sable is the ideal but it’s very expensive.

  • My current favorite brand is Silver Black Velvet. They are a mix of squirrel

  • and synthetic. The squirrel holds the water and the synthetic fibers spring

  • back after the stroke.

  • Winsor & Newton, Sennilier, Holbein, and Daniel Smith are all excellent

  • watercolor brands. If you are new to watercolor and are not ready to make an

  • investment in professional paint, use W&N Cotman paint.
