Tom Lynch Online Art Workshop: Let Loose and Create Abstract Florals, May 17, 2025

Break loose and learn to think, create, and paint abstractly.  Florals will be the subject of this brand-new, unique 1-day workshop taught by award-winning artist, Tom Lynch. In the morning session, you will learn how to paint abstract patterns in different design formats, using different color harmony, composition, and much more.  You’ll practice on separate pieces of paper without worrying about finishing a painting During the 1-hour lunch break there will be a slideshow showcasing many watercolor paintings from Tom’s studio, workshops, and plein-air collection. In the afternoon session, you will learn to paint the focal point first, incorporate dramatic value changes, accomplish unity, improve design, improve composition, obtain color harmony, and more!  You will have a completed abstract floral painting at the end of the day. The focus of this class is to learn while doing, and Tom is a master teacher to help you accomplish that. Tom provides a comprehensive amount of information for building strong foundations which can be applied to all your future paintings. Prior to the workshop, students will receive the photo reference, preliminary sketch, lesson guides, video tips and techniques, articles to read, bonus videos to watch, and color lesson guides to print out. You can follow the same scene that Tom demonstrates, one of the other options he will send, or work from your own composition. Tom’s 3 camera set up makes for great viewing of his demos and close-ups, and you can also benefit by listening as he helps each of the other students.  The demonstrations will be recorded and available to replay, pause, rewind, fast-forward and screenshot, at your own pace and convenience, for 4 WEEKS following the workshop.  As a bonus, Tom will continue to assist you by email and/or text for 4 WEEKS, answering your questions, reviewing your work, and offering suggestions for your paintings.  This class is for artists having basic watercolor skills, and up.
