• • Wow Factor with Flowers in Oils | Lyn Diefenbach

    Love Flowers? Enjoy painting? Combine the two passions and learn how to create oils that are full of luminosity, dimensionality and light. Lyn will share her extensive knowledge of colour as well as provide you with the technical know-how to create the illusion of reality with oils.

    The building blocks of line, tone, colour and edge will be discussed extensively to lead you to a better understanding of these important areas. Focus will be given to the mixing of the palette and the skill of colour recognition. This is an area particularly pertinent to florals.

    Enjoy clear, informative demonstrations and individual attention at your easel. You will use your own reference material so you can choose your own degree of difficulty or perhaps your favourite flower. Definitely the WOW FACTOR.

    What will I learn?

    Through demonstrations and a series of ‘hands-on’ exercises, you will learn easy methods for creating floral paintings.

    Who is this course suitable for?

    What students say

    5 STARS Georgie was a terrific teacher, demonstrating clearly methods of painting. It was amazing to see how the colours blended in this medium. The venue was clean, bright and welcoming, with lots of helpers to change the water and offer suggestions. The materials provided were of great quality, and it was lovely to take home a framed piece of work. This workshop is well worth the price. -Anne-

    What students say

    5* We had such a lovely girls night and even though none of us has ever painted in watercolours before, we had a lovely instructor and a heap of stencils to use before we were confident enough to do some freestyling. -Meghan-

    5* The class was very well run with good instruction and plenty of help if needed. All the necessary equipment was provided and all 3 teachers were friendly and encouraging. Would definitely do another class - we had a lot of fun! -Alex-
