Hello my creative friends!
I am Yvonne Morell, a mixed media artist from Switzerland. I love flowers and created an easy process of painting big bouquets.
In this class, I also wanted to include information that will improve your paintings overall like:
How to create a harmonious color palette, how to deal with focal points, how to use naturals and saturated colors and much more.
I can't wait to share all this with you!
Lots of love and happy painting
Yvonne

Bold flower painting
Second project
Here we dive into an INTERPRETATION of your garden or the flowers you love.
In a simple process, we look at how to plan and build up a big painting. It will NOT be drawing the whole bouquet and coloring in. We will build a color ambiance and work from abstract into more and more figurative. Working in layers, using different sizes and shapes, and applying everything that we have learned previously.
This class is for any level!
Flower pots and texture
Bonus lesson
Collage, rost, make fantastic pots for our paintings!
Material for the class:
Paper for practicing
4 sheets of paper (at least A4) watercolor or mixed media quality ( a bit thicker than normal paper to do proper paintings
Acrylic paint
Paintbrushes
1 canvas (any size but at least 20 x 20 inches) I would recommend working big
Oil pastels (the class can be done without them)
My favorite oil pastels; Caran d'Ache / Sennelier (I am using Caran d'Ache on the video)
Bonus tip: Patina and rost flower pot
(optional) watch videos first before ordering materials
First, you need a base: Metal, copper, silver
Mine, I need to apply and let it dry.
(Every brand has slightly different instructions, please read them)
Second: you will apply an oxidant (that provokes a chemical reaction)
Depending on the product you will get a rost, blue, or green finish
Patina:
Primer /base
Silver metallic surface solution (for patina)
