Paint & Sip: Spring Watercolor Florals Workshop

Celebrate Mother’s Day weekend, or simply enjoy learning the art of painting florals, with a relaxing and creative paint-and-sip evening. Enjoy complimentary wine and soft drinks as you unwind, socialize, and create a beautiful spring-inspired floral painting.

During class, students will learn to capture the shape, movement, and texture of classic blooms such as roses and tulips using loose watercolor techniques. Through guided instruction, participants will practice gestural brushwork, layering color, and creating soft petal shapes that bring florals to life on paper.

The workshop will include:

• Warm-up exercises to build confidence with watercolor techniques
• Step-by-step breakdowns of painting common floral shapes
• Guidance on building a strong floral composition
• Instruction on adding finishing details, texture, and expressive marks
• Time to work toward a completed mini watercolor painting (approximately 6×9)

The workshop will work primarily with a warm, spring-inspired color palette including pinks, corals, soft creams, and natural greens.
