The Beauty of Flowers is a new class offered by the Grand Marais Art Colony in which students can use watercolors or oils to capture the beauty of flowers by simplifying the complexity of their structure and communicating the essential components.
Working in either medium, students will begin with the selection process and careful regard to lighting in order to see the massing of flowers as relevant painting passages. Special care will be taken to control chroma, depict various edges, understand the importance of color temperature and value, and to draw carefully as we aim to see and paint flowers as realistically as possible.
The class instructor is Rick Kochenash, who has been trained in the atelier system. The two-day course will be held Saturday and Sunday, April 20 and 21; tuition is $150.
