🌱 Week 1: Bloom Basics & Leaf Love

Focus: Foundational florals + greenery

• Learn brush control for petals and leaves (strokes, curves, and flicks)

• Explore color mixing for natural greens, warm vs. cool pinks, yellows, and purples

• Practice simple leaf and petal shapes

• Mini Project: A leafy sprig study or a small flower cluster card

🌸 Week 2: Layering & Composition

Focus: Building fuller botanicals

• Glazing and layering techniques for depth

• Combining multiple flower types into arrangements

• Adding stems, buds, and filler florals for balance

• Mini Project: Create a loose watercolor bouquet or a floral wreath

🌹 Week 3: Bringing the Garden to Life

Focus: Finishing a complete floral composition

• Planning out a botanical-inspired piece (background vs. foreground)

• Capturing details without overworking

• Using negative space for elegance

• Final Project: A full floral painting—choose from a bouquet, garden scene, or wildflower arrangement
