In this weekly art club, learners will paint two beautiful flowers in each class with step-by-step demonstrations. Through hands-on practice, they will explore fundamental watercolor techniques and enhance fine motor skills. As learners complete two flower paintings per class, they’ll build a beautiful portfolio that reflects their growing skill in watercolor. The club’s ongoing structure provides a welcoming, familiar environment where learners can connect with fellow young artists. With the teacher’s encouraging feedback, learners will develop artistic skills and confidence. This class is ideal for beginner painters, while intermediate or advanced painters are also welcome to join. 📋Class Structure: - Learners check-in and introduction to materials needed for class - Demonstration and paint along of flower #1 to get learners loosened up - Demonstration and paint along of flower #2 - Learners share their creations to wrap up the class During the paint along, learners are welcome to hold up their painting to the camera for gentle feedback. They are also encouraged to ask questions throughout the lesson through the microphone or chatbox. For classes of more than 3 learners, everyone’s microphone will be muted during instruction to avoid background noise. Learners will be asked to raise their hand before speaking. 🖌️Material - 2 Pieces of Paper: 8.5x11", for watercolor or mixed media - Size 10 round brush: which is about 1/4" (it's okay if you have one that is a bit bigger or smaller) - Size 6 round brush or smaller - Watercolor paint of various color (required are red, blue, yellow, green) - A cup of water - Paper towel Upcoming Classes: [May 27 - Jun 2] Bee Balm + Black Eye Susan [Jun 3 - Jun 9] Billbergia + Hardy Orchid [Jun 10 - Jun 16] Aconite + Bergenia [Jun 17 - Jun 23] Catmint + Cushion Spurge [Jun 24 - June 30] Comfrey + Gaura [June 1 - Jul 7] Butterfly Milkweed + Diascia [Jul 8 - Jul 14] Hosta + Primrose [Jul 15 - Jul 21] Pearly Everlasting + Lobelia [Jul 22 - Jul 28] Cardinal Flame + Pansy [Jul 29 - Aug 4] Solomon's Seal + Shooting Star [Aug 5 - Aug 11] Rue + Yellow Loosestrife [Aug 12 - Aug 18] Heliotrope + Toad Lily [Aug 19 - Aug 25] Kenilworth ivy + Nasturtium [Aug 26 - Sep 1] Butterfly Weed + Maiden Pink [Sep 2 - Sep 8] Clover + Clematis [Sep 9 - Sep 15] Bell Flower + Roses [Sep 16 - Sep 22] Lavender + Water Lotus [Sep 23 - Sep 29] Butterfly + Cosmo [Sep 30 - Oct 6] Tulip + Poppy [Oct 7 - Oct 13] Vine Flower + Cherry Blossom [Oct 14 - Oct 20] Solidagoes + Dahlia [Oct 21 - Oct 27] Hydrangea + Sunflower [Oct 28 - Nov 3] Kangaroos Paw + Daffodil [Nov 4 - Nov 10] Broom + Orchid [Nov 11 - Nov 17] Blueberry + Trillium [Nov 18 - Nov 24] Dandelion + Common Mallow [Nov 25 - Dec 1] Bleeding Hearts + Carnation [Dec 2 - Dec 8] Amaranthus + Anemone [Dec 9 - Dec 15] Alluim + Iris [Dec 16 - Dec 22] Blazing Star + Morning Glory [Dec 23 - Dec 29] Pentas + Agrostemma [Dec 30 - Jan 5] Forget me not + Night Blooming Cereus
