Join Catherine Bobkoski for a lively floral still life demonstration in oil. Catherine will walk you through her intuitive and expressive approach to painting flowers in oil, beginning with simple shapes and energetic mark-making that gradually build towards increasing cpmplexity.
Catherine will also show how she uses an exciting range of unconventional tools alongside traditional brushes (palette knives, brayers, and paint scrapers) to create texture, depth, and energy on the canvas.
Whether you are a seasoned painter or just beginning to explore oil, this demonstration will offer both inspiration and practical insights for every artist.
