What is included in this class?
This is the second offering in the ‘Painting Flowers’ series. In this class, Ingrid focuses on painting loose, abstract sunflowers using watercolors and a mix of watercolor, gouache, and color sheets. She demonstrates how to paint in two formats: small (12x16 in) and large (22x30 in), helping you explore larger formats for your paintings with confidence.
Visit Ingrid’s garden and see how she approaches painting large studies inspired by the sunflowers there, from choosing her colors and mediums to experimenting with different brushstrokes.
As a bonus, Ingrid uses key moments from her painting ‘Sunflowers, Two Bumble Bees and the Moon’ to briefly explain how she uses masking fluid to paint sunflowers with watercolors. Note that this bonus is not a tutorial or project, but rather a glimpse into her techniques to inspire further exploration.
