Painting Multi colored Florals

Immerse Yourself in the Art of Florals: A Flower Painting Workshop with Teresa Oaxaca

Step inside the atelier and embrace the serene beauty of our Flower Painting Workshop, a four-day studio class orchestrated under the seasoned brush of the esteemed Teresa Oaxaca. This intensive course is meticulously designed for artists who aspire to elevate their craft through the delicate and inspiring art of flower painting in oils.

In Morning Sessions, you will be privy to the silent eloquence of flowers as Teresa Oaxaca conducts live painting demonstrations, each a study in the grace of floral artistry. The tranquil scent of live flowers will envelop the studio, providing not just visual inspiration but also an olfactory tapestry that enhances the creative ambiance.

Participants are invited to curate and paint from their own floral arrangements, translating the unique language of petals and leaves into their personal masterpieces. The workshop's curriculum is steeped in elegance and technique, with discussions on color placement and harmonies taking center stage. Students will explore the dance between high chroma and pastel hues, learning to harness the power of transparency, brushwork, and paint texture. Techniques in drawing, placement, and composition will be refined, all while maintaining the delicate balance that floral subjects demand.

Aspiring to harmonize personal growth with professional guidance, each student will receive individual critiques from Teresa Oaxaca herself. Her astute insights will not only reaffirm your strengths but also gently steer you toward avenues of improvement, ensuring that your artwork reaches its full potential.

This Flower Painting Workshop promises an elegant and sophisticated experience where the allure of live flowers and the romance of oils converge. Elevate your artistic expression and partake in a journey that celebrates the timeless marriage of nature's beauty with the enduring art of painting.
