You won't just hear what to do; you'll see it in action with various floral examples every day of the course.
Â
During each LIVE training session focused on enhancing your painting skills, I'll pair it with various floral painting demonstrations over all five days to reinforce and highlight the lessons being taught.
This hands-on approach will show you how to apply the lessons to your own artwork.

Day 1: Loose Floral Bunch
We’ll kick off with a fun, a beginner-friendly exercise using real flower examples to explore tonal values and learn how they can enhance our paintings.

Day 2: Purple Bearded IrisÂ
Balancing water and paint can be tricky! Painting Irises is a great way to practice and understand water-to-paint ratios. And have fun mixing some juicy purples and greens!

Day 3: SunflowerÂ

Day 4: Paint Peonies like a Pro
Learn how to paint a peony composition that looks realistic yet loose and fresh using simplifying techniques that professional artists use. We will be using a real flower example in this lesson.

Day 5: Floral CompositionÂ
Learn the fundamentals and methods to enhance your floral compositions as we bring different flowers together for our final lesson.

Replays are available for a limited time after the course, but I would encourage you to join me live if possible and have fun painting and interacting with the other participants.

Hi, I'm Sushma.

Let me guess - You're a creative soul who loves to paint what inspires you. But, you've got that nagging feeling of forever being stuck in the beginner phase. You're eager to make your art stand out, but struggle to create pieces that truly warm your heart.
Guess what? I'VE BEEN THERE TOO.
Just a few years back, I found myself in that exact position, nearly ready to throw in the towel.
Even when I had great ideas, I struggled to bring them on to paper.
After a lot of trial and error, I finally figured out a set of steps that not only helped me create better art but also simplified my painting process.
I honed my skills and tried to understand what works best. I’ve also had the joy and privilege of teaching over 20,000 students across the globe through my online classes over the years and published two successful watercolor painting books.

IÂ am here to help you!
