Some classes are just so popular, I simply must make it into a full length class to offer to students to use again and again. And Irises are amazing when they start popping up and blooming every Spring!

Our usual way to paint stunning Iris blossoms with a very beautiful background, but what struck me about this photo was that it was against a chain-link fence! I loved that dichotomy! Makes it more interesting to me!

And here's what you will discover when you watch and paint along with "The Iris Fence":

• wet on wet techniques

• the importance of savings whites of the paper

• how to avoid muddy paintings but use complimentary colors to tone down areas that are too bright

• and how to charge up colors using analogous colors to build colors beyond the tube

• ideas on composition - if you lost it how to gain it back

• light and shadow effects

• how to be successful while taking risks and how they pay off

• and the proper order in which to do it all.

These full length classes are links that are yours for as long as you like - there is no expiration. You will receive my photo, my contour drawing and my final painting to show you how it came out using these techniques.

Enjoy this fun and engaging class - 2 hours or less but you can pause it and resume as you wish.

Fearlessly Yours Always,
