Extensive General Overview & Notes

Wildflowers 

​

  1. You can either print out the pictures you choose or study them from a large image on your computer screen. 

  2. Flowers are always wonderful to swirl and twirl your pastels, charcoal or paintbrush in a skating manner, freely and creatively finding form from your study. Vary your marks using tracking techniques and tone and line work. 

  3. Gently commence your pictures by keeping the images soft and easy to erase if necessary, then gradually build up the picture by strengthening the image and creating the picture you want. 

  4. Composition and Contrast: A) Compose images so that you have an unbalanced structure and variable subject matter in the cluster of wildflowers. B) Contrast the flowers against the under-story of the plant base and grasses that are presented in the image. Use strong and variable tonal changes to describe the contrast

  5. Remember colorists that the greens are many, with many blues as well as purples, browns and bone tones. 

  6. Strengthen a particular flower with colour or tones depending on your medium to pull the eye into your image. 

  7. Perspective, tonal values and depth of field: Let the top (back of the clump of wildflowers) be more vague with softer tones with the mid-ground in focus, and the foreground can be darker and lighter in contrast to the foreground and background.

More Than an Art Class

At Lavender Art Studios, students become part of a progressive, professional art-learning environment where skills, confidence and creativity are developed over time. Our highly experienced teaching team provides demonstrations, individual guidance and ongoing support throughout each class, with multiple members of our studio team working within the art workshop environment. This allows students to receive assistance as they need it while also developing the confidence and independence to create their own artwork.

 

A Place to Grow as an Artist

Established in 1999, Lavender Art Studios offers a dedicated studio environment where children, young people and adults can continue developing their art practice over many years. Students are introduced to an extensive range of traditional and contemporary media and are encouraged to build skills as they progress. From our youngest Little Lavenders through to teenage specialised workshops and adult art classes, our focus remains on quality teaching, individual artistic development and the enjoyment of creating art.

​

Lavender Art Studios Opens Possibilities

Whether creating art for enjoyment, personal development or a future creative profession, learning art at Lavender Art Studios opens artistic possibilities towards building artistic skills, confidence, creativity and a lifelong appreciation of the visual arts. Many of our students have gone on to undertake tertiary studies in the arts, pursue creative professions, exhibit their work, and receive awards and recognition for their artistic achievement.
