Workshop: Georgia O’Keefe Inspired Florals in White

Tuesday, Mar. 19, 6-8:30pm

Instructor: Natalie Boburka. How would you like to paint an intimate white flower that pulls you in? Do you think white is white? Guess again! In this class you’ll examine Georgia O’Keefe’s white flower paintings as inspiration. You’ll choose your own individual photo of a white flower (provided) to draw using a loose grid for accuracy. You’ll learn to draw the negative space and will then paint the basic color with shifts in tone, value, and form of the parts of the flower. You’ll add the details using different ways of applying the paint for texture. Last, you’ll choose a contrasting color for the background. Each person will end up with a small jewel of an intimate painting. No experience necessary! All Materials provided.
