FLORAL STILL LIFE ...in oils or acrylics! With Lucy Burton

Lucy is back: Colourful dynamic flower painting!

Choose to paint them in Oils or Acrylics!

We will look at arranging and lighting a jar of seasonal flowers with different coloured backgrounds, creating interesting and unusual compositions and colour relationships. We will then sketch out our composition on the canvas, before applying the paint in a dynamic and interesting way: focusing on colour, brushwork and composition
