When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment.

Georgia O’Keeffe

A flower is not just a subject but a universe, inviting us to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the extraordinary within the ordinary.

Over the course of two full days, join me in painting flowers from life. Enhance your painting techniques with bold, expressive brushstrokes, deepen your understanding of light and color, and uncover the simplicity behind even the most complex arrangements and the structure of individual flowers.

You will work with a limited primary palette, with the option to expand it, helping you develop rich, cohesive artworks while exploring your creativity and enhancing your artistic abilities.

Some experience is recommended, but beginners and first-time oil painters are warmly encouraged to join.

Students are required to bring their own supplies.

Yelena is a Signature member of Oil Painters of America (OPA), Society of Animal Artists (SAA), National Oil and Acrylic Painters’ Society (NOAPS), and American Impressionist Society (AIS).
