Wild Flowers

Wild Flowers, difficulty = 2 (out of 3)
This painting has a tie dye effect. I took the liberty of adding several colors in the flowers and in the tree. They all mix together for a vibrant final product. The key to this painting is the yellow base coat. After we have our yellow down we can define the sky and the clouds and then the tree and flowers. Bring a great snack and beverage and enjoy this easy masterpiece! - Jared

Daisies on Black - Nel Whatmore

Daisies on Black 1&2 (Nel Whatmore), Difficulty=2 (out of 3)
These two paintings by the artist, Nel Whatmore, are fun and easy creations. We will start both paintings with a black base. This will allow our colors to appear bold and dynamic. Have fun by changing the colors of the flowers to match your taste.

Hibiscus

Hibiscus, Difficulty=1.5 (out of 3)
We will start this painting off with a light sandy brown base. The flower is painted with lots of pigment so expect to have colors mixing with each other on the canvas. This will give us that energetic look and thick texture once dried! Relax and have fun! - Jared

Italian Garden

Italian Garden, Difficulty = 1.5 (out of 3)
For this painting we start with a cream base coat. After adding the blue door and window we begin to plant our garden by globbing paint onto the canvas. Remember - it's better to add too much paint instead of too little! Go for it; you'll enjoy! - Jared K.

Lavender Fields

Lavender Fields, Difficulty = 2 (out of 3)
I absolutely love this painting! The classic Italian landscape is a cinch to complete. We'll start with a black base coat. Next we'll fill in the top half (which has the most details) and save the best and easiest part for last - the purple lavender fields. The key to this painting is to have a loose brushstroke and not to obsess over every move. Let the paint work for you! Can't wait to see you - Jared K.

Purple Hyacinths

Purple Hyacinths, Difficulty 2.5 (out of 3)
We start with a black base coat - my favorite. Then we get sloppy with the violet paint, throwing globs of purple onto the black background. I will show you how easy it is to create this glass vase. It will be one of your favorite paintings to hang in your home after you finish - I promise! I'll see you soon - Jared

Posies on Black

Posies on Black: Difficulty = 1.5 (out of 3)
This painting starts off with a black base coat, my favorite. This instantly allows you to create a dynamic piece with a lot of contrast. Choose your own colors for the posies or follow me as I recreate this image in class. Bring a friend!

Blue Tulips

Blue Tulips on Yellow: Difficulty = 3 (out of 3)

This painting is simple to follow as long as you don't let the perfectionist in you come out to paint. Every brushstroke is "sloppy" and should not take much thought. Once you mix the color just throw it on the canvas and let the paint do it's thing. The several small elements of the flowers and leaves raise this painting to a 3 due to time.
