Read MoreThroughout the pre-recorded online classes, we learned to use several key acrylic painting tools - a filbert brush, a silicone wedge, a palette knife and even our fingers for fun blending. Kathleen demonstrated how to capture the lush, vibrant colors and soft rounded shapes of hydrangeas. Her clear explanations and step-by-step guidance allowed me to successfully paint a hydrangea painting that I'm am very pleased with. Kathleen encourages creativity and individual expression. I really enjoyed learning and painting with this course. I think it's her best online course yet!

Read MoreI always watch Kathleen's courses before I actually start painting with her. I like to relax and just enjoy it first. They are that good. A great way to spend the evening. The course is step by step and you can go at your own pace I appreciate that she encourages her students to use some of their own flare to the painting as well.

Read MoreAs an intuitive artist I love trying out different tools and techniques, so it was fun using the wedge and shaper tools and experimenting. She explains color theory and color values very well, which is something I struggle with. Very good value for what I learned!

Read LessIt begins with a BONUS video on the basics of how to use a Princeton brand Catalyst silicone wedge, like you've seen me use to create my gorgeous floral paintings. This will help you get started if you've never used one before.
3 different full-length video demos showing my creative process: starting with choosing my color palette using a Color Wheel, mixing and applying paint, all of my techniques with full descriptions and evaluations of the final results. You will see me paint classic blue, white and purple hydrangea gardens.
Picture in Picture so you can see my reference photo from which I am working and a closer look at the tools I am using.
Closed Captions to make it easier to follow along so you don't miss a word.
2 camera angles: 1 on my palette as I mix and 1 on my canvas as I paint.
FREE private Facebook group for all enrolled students to ask questions, post work and find support after you've purchased my course. You won't ever feel like you are in this alone!
Fun!! Really. If you think you can't paint gorgeous hydrangea gardens dappled in sunlight and shadow, think again. All it takes is my course, a little patience and PRACTICE. Once you purchase my course, take all the time you need. The course is yours to keep and use indefinitely.
Although this course is taught using acrylic paints and mediums, it may be adapted to an oil painting practice.
You could be painting right now.
These students are no different than you. But they learned my secrets to painting beautiful hydrangea gardens, professional-looking enough to display on the walls in their homes. Some have even been commissioned to paint hydrangeas for collectors after taking my course. This could be YOU as well.
My courses make great gifts! Gift cards are purchased on my main website. Click the button to purchase.
Classic art instruction will teach you important fundamentals to paint loose, expressive roses. Suitable for both acrylic and oil paints.
