Negative Painting Watercolor Simple Butterfly and Floral Shapes

In this class, you will create a soft watercolor painting featuring butterflies and simple floral shapes while continuing to build your understanding of negative painting.

This beginner-friendly class can be completed in about 30 to 40 minutes and is designed to help you feel more confident using this technique in a slightly more structured way.

In the previous class, we focused on understanding negative painting through simple shapes and loose florals. In this class, we take that same concept and apply it in a more intentional way by working around traced or sketched butterfly and flower shapes.

You will learn how to build a soft background, preserve your subject, and use negative painting to bring your shapes forward while keeping a calm, cohesive look.

What you will learn:

• How to use negative painting with simple outlined shapes
• How to preserve white space for butterflies and flowers
• How to create a soft, blended background
• How to build contrast to define your subject
• How to keep your painting loose while working with structure

This class is perfect for beginners or anyone who wants to strengthen their understanding of negative painting while creating a finished piece.

If you enjoyed the previous class, this is a natural next step that helps you move from discovering shapes to working with more intention.
