I’ve signed up for another class through Carla Sonheim where Lynn Whipple teaches how to draw and paint Big, Bold Blooms.
Our first class was to quickly draw 15 blooms while listening to music and time each drawing. The first group were given 15 seconds to draw, the second group 30 and the last 1 minute. After all the flowers were drawn we had to cut them out and arrange them in and on a quickly drawn vase. The medium used was soft pastels.
One of my favourite parts of this assignment was going out and purchasing a variety of flowers.

Thanks Derrick. I think that was the whole idea behind this lesson. I’m really looking forward to the next lesson.

That’s great. That’s the look I was going for and I know Lynn Whipple wants us to be loose and ‘wild’ with our creations.

I suspect it sounds a lot easier than it really is.

It was surprisingly easy.

Really?! Now I’m really impressed. I think ‘letting go’ is one of the hardest things for me to do.

It is for me as well but this exercise that Lynn put us through didn’t give us time to overthink anything. For each flower our time was very limited and we were encouraged to used both hands at the same time.

Both hands?! Now that would force anyone out of their comfort zone!

It’s an odd feeling but it makes you feel like a kid again.

Thank you Samantha. Now I need to get to my big canvases but I quickly realized that my space in my studio is so limited. I need to clean up a large area in order to complete this assignment.
