Explore the beauty, movement, and energy of florals through expressive oil painting in this three-week workshop with award-winning painter Lynn Mehta. Discover how palette knives can bring a fresh sense of freedom and vitality to paintings of flowers, petals, and foliage. Whether you want to paint primarily with a palette knife or incorporate it alongside traditional brushwork, you’ll explore new ways to approach your floral subjects.

Through demonstrations and guided practice, we’ll experiment with bold color, rich texture, expressive edges, and spontaneous mark making. You’ll learn to simplify floral forms, build dynamic layers of paint, and capture the character and rhythm of flowers without getting caught up in detail.

With a focus on experimentation and individual expression, this workshop will help you develop greater confidence with the palette knife while discovering a more intuitive, painterly approach to florals.

An artist since childhood, Lynn earned her B.A. in Art from San Diego State University, and has studied with internationally acclaimed artists in the US and abroad.

Lynn draws inspiration from the world around, believing that art creates a universal connection. Her subjects include seascapes, rural scenes, boats, vibrant flowers, and natural landscapes. Color, composition, and paint handling are key elements in her paintings and tools for her expression. She connects with changing light, the color of her surroundings, and movement, focusing on abstract shapes and forms which weave together a whole painting.
