FAQ’s answered
FAQ 1
What if I already have painting skills?
If you have painted with me before online or in a Blooms painting workshop then this is a great chance to polish, refresh and upgrade your painting skills because I have stunning Blooms references to paint from for beginners, intermediate and more advanced painters. You can decide which level is best for you based on what you have done previously.
If you are already painting but not with me, we can look at where you are at and make good choices together to ensure you take on a level you can manage after receiving the Blooms Paint Brush Licence acrylic paint handling training.
This is a great opportunity to tackle a little more complexity, or a few more shapes or a painting challenge you haven’t done before.
A lot of the photo reference I have created in Paris, with stunning flowers from fave florists and floral designers which are very beautiful.
Learn even to have even more control over your paint, more in colour mixing and tackling shapes.
This is great if you need to reboot and refresh and gain some new insights.
FAQ 2
Can I do this if I have never painted before?
Yes of course, no problems. It’s normal for total newbies to take my
workshops and get great results and learn a heap.
This is a system of painting anyone can learn.
You have full support at every stage and specific teaching for every stage
with no drawing skills required.
FAQ 3
What is the size of the canvas?
The canvas size I supply for each student is two canvases, each of which are 16 x 20 inch. It’s an achievable size to get a lovely impactful results.
FAQ 4
What will we paint?
There will be a choice of blooms to paint from including roses, peonies, tulips and pears, and a few other beautiful blooms. I will be choosing achievable images. You will have the option of doing the same painting as me if you want to follow all of the steps that I do.
FAQ 5
Will we paint with an easel or on table top?
We have choices! You can work from the table or at an easel which we can provide if you prefer to stand. If you need a stool its best to BYO as the venue does not have stools.
