This introductory workshop explores the beauty of flowers as both a technical subject and a source of artistic expression. Working from a combination of curated still life arrangements and photo references, students will learn how to simplify complex forms, understand petal structure, and build a strong foundation for floral work. We’ll cover essential concepts such as: Breaking down floral forms into simple shapes; Understanding value and light within layered petals; Creating depth and movement through edges and transitions; And designing thoughtful compositions. A live demonstration will guide you through the process, followed by time to work hands-on. Whether you’re new to florals or looking to strengthen your fundamentals, this workshop offers a supportive, inspiring environment to grow your skills and develop your artistic eye.
