Christmas is almost upon us! In the spirit of the season I’ve created this video lesson as a way of sharing a bit of joy and wonder with you. The subject of this special lesson will be a single peony in a jar. Elegant and beautiful, this subject presents us with some unique challenges to overcome. How will we suggest the shape and dimension of this flower in full bloom without slipping into rendering every petal? Or what should we do in order to keep a more neutral palette from getting too dull and boring?

I’m excited to share my solutions to these problems and more as we create a loose, painterly floral still life together. I think Christmas should come early this year, so why not click the link below, and open your special gift right away!

There’s so much inspiration waiting for you.
