Dutch Flower Painting: Step-by-Step Oil Painting Workshop
WITH LEILA ZOLFALIPOUR
2 Tuesdays, August 12 & 19
6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
$100 + Supply List
Class Limit: 15 Students
Beginners Welcome!
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll dive into the techniques of Dutch Golden Age floral painting with artist Leila Zolfalipour. Over two sessions, you’ll build a richly layered flower painting using time-honoured methods: start with a detailed drawing, create a monochrome underpainting (grisaille), then glaze in vivid colour to capture depth and delicacy.
Perfect for students interested in classical realism, oil painting, or botanical art. No previous experience is required!
