upgrade to join

Flowers have a way of marking time. The first blooms of spring, the heavy roses of summer, the last few stems holding on in autumn. Each one is an invitation to slow down and pay attention.

Join our wonderful new class, Floret, with the talented Renee Mueller. Over six lessons, you will explore the art of painting expressive, romantic florals, from styling your own reference photographs to building moody, atmospheric blooms layered with luminous glazes.

Renee teaches the way a trusted friend would, gently, generously, and with real encouragement. This is a class about finding the courage to paint what you see and feel, and letting your work reflect who you truly are.
