VIEW with Cindy Briggs, NWS: ``Bright Market Flowers`` in Watercolor
Brighten your November days with watercolor flowers that are always in season.
Market flowers can be a delightful design of natural mixes. While the placement is somewhat planned, it’s more randomly placed than the formal designs you get from a florist. Discover how to paint fresh colors that pop, save whites, stylize, mingle, layer up colors, as you change it up to make it your own.We have a fun natural “Local Flower Mix” for day two, or you can take your time finishing up from day one.
Tracings are provided or you can prepare your own drawing prior to class.

Testimonials from our VIEWers
“The session recordings are one of the reasons these live on-line workshops are better than in-person workshops. The other reason is that we can sit comfortably and look over the shoulder of the artist during the demo. I’m so glad that you are presenting these workshops!”
Margaret W.
“Love, love love your online classes! I’ve done two so far and have really enjoyed both. I feel my work has improved a lot thanks to your online workshops.
You do the BEST job of these workshops. I love the pace, and the instructors are all so willing to stop and help students!”
Arlette T.
“Jackie, the courses and quality of instructors you have cultivated through French Escapade V.I.E.W. is world-class. Jackie, you do such a great job hosting the program — you are on top of your game with production quality, responsiveness with quick replay links, and also announcing upcoming events to students. A side benefit is your fun, wickedly sharp and entertaining sense of humor. Keep up the great work. I’m not surprised that V.I.E.W. is expanding and doing so well.”
