We believe anyone can be an artist... even if they never went to art school. The need to be creative is built right into our DNA, and sometimes it just takes the right medium and a little practice to light that creative fire!

What if you could learn to paint like Annie, from the comfort of home, and with the support of a friendly, creative community?
That's why we created this class! By the end of it, you'll...
- Know how to stop painting leaves that look like "slugs" π π
- Create your own frame-worthy loose floral composition
- Feel proud to share your artwork with the world
- Have the confidence to compose and paint your OWN unique floral pieces

Do you want to paint loose florals, but have no idea where to start?
Maybe you're not good at drawing... or maybe you're a complete beginner... or maybe you've tried painting loose florals before and gotten frustrated because everyone else makes it look so easy.
If so, this class was made for you: the beginner ready to fill their pages with beautiful florals AND the more experienced painter who wants to practice "loosening up" with their brush.
In Annie's course, you'll learn it all -- how to select and mix colors, how to use your brush to create different leaf and petal shapes in single strokes, how to build a pleasing composition, and even how to do thumbnail sketches before you start painting your final piece.
When you're finished, you'll have a beautiful, frame-worthy piece of art that's ready to hang on the wall or gift to a friend!

Why Paint With Us?
Hi! I'm Ashley, the owner of Art Summits® (that's me on the left with another talented artist, Sarah Simon from The Mint Gardener.)
When I first started out with watercolors, my paintings were flat and muddy. To improve my own skills, I set out to learn from some of the artists that I admired most.
It's been a huge blessing to create these courses with top artists and to share their teaching with others around the world!
