Cottage Garden Hollyhocks

Hollyhocks are stately stunners of the cottage garden, known for their dramatic height and ruffled, tissue-paper blooms. This interactive Zoom workshop focuses on the techniques to paint hollyhocks with confidence and a loose, expressive style.

You’ll learn how to layer soft, bleeding washes for those delicate petals, and mix the perfect greens for stalks and leaves. We'll explore color bleeding, capturing light on vibrant pink petals, and how to paint loose background textures that evoke a cozy garden wall. Perfect for beginners and seasoned painters alike, this class is all about embracing the beautiful imperfections of watercolor—just like a wild, joyful cottage garden.

Let’s turn a blank page into a garden. See you on screen!. 🎨

*This class will be recorded, so you may rewatch at any time. I’ll be using a top-down camera so you can see every brushstroke and pigment mix in real-time.
