SUMMARY:August Monthly Watercolor - It's all about Dahlias!
DESCRIPTION:Magical dahlias are in bloom and they inspire me to paint them. They are\, however\, a tricky flower to paint in watercolor as they are very intricate. This class will focus on how to capture the grace and movement of these gorgeous\, unique blooms while focusing on the drawing and the use of wet into wet application and finding the light and dark to create depth. \nWe will use both photo references as well as the real thing if any of you want to paint from life. The dahlias will all be from Laura Grimm’s amazing Dahlia farm\, Bewitching Blooms in Far Hills\, NJ. \n
