Linda will start with a 15-minute presentation, helpful to all artists who paint flora. Next she will demonstrate the following techniques:
1) How to create and transfer a pattern, especially the details
2) How to lay down a smooth tea wash
3) Building form with color, moving from transparent to opaque
4) Detail, her method and her secret weapons
Linda invites you to visit the sites below to see how different artists interpret and present their botanical subjects.
There will be a raffle of Linda’s favorite tools, from the artist and Dick Blick Art Materials.
