Sunflower Watercolor Workshop

Instructor: Kat Block

Adults & Older Teens

Date: Saturday, October 10, 2026

Time: 1:30pm-4:30pm

  • The focus will be on the structure of the flower which is very geometric, helping you see and draw the sunflower more accurately by finding the underlying shapes that guide its form. We’ll also explore making value changes with the color yellow—often one of the trickiest colors in watercolor. The challenge is to make value changes in yellow, while maintaining luminosity and depth. The other challenge is to making a compelling composition. Perfect for artists who want to sharpen their drawing skills while deepening their understanding of color.

  • Bring the following supplies:

    • Watercolor paper 140lb cold press

    • Hb pencils, erasers

    • Tray for paint 

    • Cadmium yellow medium paint?

    • Cadmium yellow deep 

    • Raw umber
