Join our Loose Florals and Colorful Bouquet Painting Course and learn how to paint beautiful flowers and bouquets in watercolor with a touch of mixed media. Perfect for beginners, this course encourages you to let go of perfectionism and bring joyful flowers into your home or create great gifts for your loved ones.

Do I need to be good at drawing to join?

you don't need any drawing experience. This course contains very little sketching, we will create each painting together (step by step) and there is lots of room for experimentation and learning!

What are we making?

In this course we are creating four bouquet paintings and we will also paint flowers, petals and compositions as warmups.

In this video I will tell you a little more about the course.

What my creatives say

I really enjoyed the 'Fill Your First Sketchbook in 30 Days' on line course with Irene from Makings & Musings. It was very motivating. There were lots of ideas for images to draw and resources for where to find them on line. We learned many new techniques. The videos were really helpful. The live sessions were really well presented and complemented the coursework perfectly. I would highly recommend Irene's on line art courses, both to beginners and more experienced artisits.

"Irene was an excellent teacher and would highly recommend her classes."

Hannah

"Brilliant teacher. I found the class very relaxing and engaging as Irene patiently explained how-to paint. Appreciated the fact that she explains well the technique while also encouraging you and giving you the freedom to add your own touch."

Irina

Very enjoyable course and would definitely recommend.

I enjoy all of the classes and courses at Makings & Musings. I love the live Charcoal Drawing Classes on Sunday evenings, I have learnt so much about drawing with Charcoal in these sessions. I have just completed the Autumn Drawing with coloured pencils course on line. It was excellent and I now feel confident drawing with coloured pencils, using different techniques and different mediums.

Good drawing course.

I learned so much and was introduced to so many techniques that I never tried before . The option to draw along also helps to get going

Yes, I want to start too

What Materials Do I need?

The main showstopper in this course is watercolour (Aquarelle) paint.

You will need

watercolour paint (in pans or tubes)
watercolour paper (at least 10 sheets/pages)
brushes, palette, cloth/paper towel
cup of water

The mixed media component of this course is optional.

You can use colour pencils, crayons, markers or other pens to add more details to your artwork.

Just have a look in your art materials of there are come other materials you would like to try out. (one of the first video's of the course dives into this more and we will talk about why and how we can add other materials to our paint).

Hands on approach

I love a no-nonsense approach to art as the best way to learn is by creating.

I invite you to paint along from the start.

You can pause, rewind and restart the video's as much as you need but I think you find that you can paint along with me quite easily.

How does it work?

During the course you can see what I do as if you are looking over my shoulder. I explain each step I take and you can see exactly what movements I make.

If you sign up today you will immediately have access to the day one drawing plus all introduction video's.
