Floral Oil Painting Workshop with Sarah Blatchford
$195
Thursday October 1, 7pm – 9pm
Join Melbourne artist Sarah Blatchford for an intimate evening of contemporary floral painting at Flowers Vasette, Chadstone. Inspired by Sarah’s expressive practice, this relaxed two-hour workshop guides you to capture spring blooms through loose brushwork, layered colour and painterly mark-making.
Using oil paints and pigment sticks, Sarah will demonstrate her process step by step before supporting you to create your own framed floral artwork. No previous experience is required, just an openness to explore colour, shape and gesture.
All materials are provided. You’ll leave with a finished, framed piece and the confidence to keep painting.
Care & Maintenance
Floral varieties and colour ways may vary due to seasonal availability. A couple of tips to increase longevity of your flowers:
- On receiving your flowers, be sure to trim their stems (2cm) on a 45-degree angle prior to placing them in their vase.
- Flowers consume a lot of water. It is important to ensure they always have two thirds of the vase full.
- As flowers are susceptible to bacterial build up, please change their water every two days and fresh cut their stems.
- Use sharp scissors when trimming the stems to avoid damaging the tissue / cells at the base.
- By keeping your flowers out of direct sunlight and heat, you will be ensuring their longevity, as they will mature quickly when exposed to heat and light.
