The Challenge of Fleeting Beauty: Flowers, with their delicate and transient nature, present a unique challenge for artists. Their vibrant hues and intricate details change rapidly, demanding quick and decisive strokes to capture their essence before it evolves. Eric Johnson will show you how to embrace and overcome this challenge.
In "Blooms on Canvas," you'll learn specialized techniques designed to work efficiently without compromising the depth and vibrancy of your floral compositions. From swift brushwork to strategic color choices, Eric will empower you to express the vitality of flowers on canvas in the shortest amount of time.
Why Speed Matters: Understanding the art of capturing flowers swiftly is not just about meeting a challenge; it's about conveying the essence of a moment. Whether it's the unfolding petals of a bloom or the changing play of light, speed becomes a tool for preserving the fleeting beauty of your subject. Join us for a 2 day webinar where you'll not only refine your skills but also discover the joy of spontaneously capturing the evolving beauty of flowers.
