"Blobs to Blooms - I love the "pull down peanut butter strip" technique for painting a gradient petal. Such a beautiful effect! Also the "eraser brush" is so useful it is now my handy floral painting sidekick!! I use it for lifting or shaping the paint I put down! I can't remember which workshop has the brush practice! But I've been practicing and using the 1/2" stroke brush for my florals and now I'm hooked!"

"Flat to Fabulous really was when I think it all clicked into place for me- it's seriously the best class. It's so well done Jillian There are plenty of areas I need to practice, but it really set up such a solid foundation for creating depth, which is more important than I initially realized when starting out and can save paintings!

Workshop FAQ

Workshop FAQ

Find the workshop that matches your needs and start exploring watercolor with ease. If any of these descriptions sound like you, I’m here to help!

Want to get on the best footing in watercolor: 
- highly recommend you to invest in yourself and start with "watercolor redefined" a course packed with so much value that you will come out confident to paint loose florals of your own.
 
Don't have the budget to invest but want to start somewhere:
- No Formula Florals is packed with information on how to use and manipulate various brushes so that you can start putting petals to paper.

Want to try things out on your own but would love guidance: 
- Get my weekly emails - sign up here
- Check out my Youtube channel
- Check out my freebies 

"No Formula Florals" will help you maximize your brush work game so that you can start visualising with a brush instead of a pencil

"From Blobs to Blooms" addresses all things water. You will get confident with knowing what paint-water ratio to use and how to use it.

Painting loosely is about 2 things
-  Knowing how to use your brush to create movement (No Formula Florals)
-  Knowing when and how to use water (From Blobs to Blooms)

Apart from these 2 skills if you struggle with gaps in your learning then "Watercolor Redefined" is an all inclusive course that could guide you to adopt habits towards painting more freely  

I host monthly zoom workshops with a dedicated and committed group of watercolor enthusiasts called "Brush Movement Collective". Every month we have a challenge of the month, we have art socials and live Q&A pegged to a monthly floral class.

The Brush Movement Collective is closed for enrollment at the moment but you can sign up to be in our waitlist and be the first to be notified before doors open (September/ October 2024)

Waitlist here.

You can check out "Floral Foundation" which is a membership and community where I help beginners to navigate and strengthen their watercolor knowledge so that they can begin to paint confidently.

My friend - I have been here too. And there are a few things happening here
1. I know you are trying to seek a style that feels good for you
2. You like having an outcome when it comes to painting
3. Learning this way helps you to know how others apply techniques to create flowers
4. You aren’t confident of your own skills and aren't sure how to apply them to flowers

Watercolor Redefined is a course that can help you to get out of the hamster wheel of tutorials by beefing up your foundation (and beyond). This course was designed to focus on applying skills so you can become more intentional as a painter.

The next thing I would recommend you do is to ask yourself what’s your relationship with watercolor like - tune into my Youtube video which gives you a checklist of skills that you need if you are self taught.

Based on what you find missing - if it is multiple skills - Watercolor Redefined could be your answer.

If it’s specific skills - you can check out my other deep dive workshops that address:
- Problems with loose brush work “No Formula Florals
- Struggle with using water in watercolor “From Blobs to Blooms
= Unsure how to create more depth in your painting “From Flat to Fabulous

This video could also be helpful for you. 

Choosing supplies is very personal - I have shared the 5 things I wish I knew about watercolor materials and would love to share my lessons with you. Download your free copy here.

From Blobs to Blooms” will not only encourage you to use water effectively but help you outline the stages of water drying on paper, plus help you to manage the various water sources in your art space.

I do that too. I get excited and I want to add layers before my paintings are dry or I give my painting more detail than it needs.

Overworking can be prevented in 3 ways:
1. Becoming clear on how water works in your painting and knowing when to put the next stroke out “From Blobs to Blooms
2. Allowing your paper to dry fully and reworking over it by adding layers  - “From Flat to Fabulous
3. Understanding how to use your brush to illustrate a flower with the least number of strokes while capturing the most movement “No Formula Florals

I offer an entire module on troubleshooting in Watercolor Redefined. I believe that knowing what parts of watercolor that can be fixed is an asset so you are not at the mercy of ‘water’ or ‘paint’. Watercolor Redefined gives you questions to ask yourself as you paint to build more purposeful painting.

I still have days where I feel this. Relying all your efforts on 1 layer is a lot of pressure and also not a productive strategy. “From Flat to Fabulous” will get you beyond your first layer and more.
