Touch of flowers
Floral watercolors are amazing. It is easy to get carried away by soft colors and gentle shapes of petals. It usually depends on season, weather and what I feel like doing, but I go for the opposites. When it is cold and dark, I love something sunny and full of light. We have been painting soft and lovely floral images also in classroom most often in December and January. These paintings and process of creation provide with the much needed contrast between the upsetting darkness outdoors and the light and brightness of such artworks.
Pink color
Pink color is easy to grade from dark and cold to soft and warm. It doesn’t take much adding some purples or washes of light red and ocher. Mainly, somewhat realistic watercolors are closely associated with quality of drawing. Therefore, I have decided for the remaining classes to offer my drawing templates for use. Sometimes, drawing is more than 50% of watercolor painting. If you do not understand values, you do not know where to apply paint.
2020 sets of art classes
It is hard to say when everything about art classes and painting lessons shifted towards only end result. The most important part is actually the process of creation and the journey of getting to the completed painting. We are recently facing the following: people want everything right away and immediately. That is a very limiting approach for those who start from zero skills and want to learn. That simply cannot happen. Nobody paints like a master in a few hours. Therefore, the next sets of art classes will start with basics of drawing and painting and progress toward more accomplished skills.

I took new photos recently, and I hope these images will look better and more balanced. I am working on a new reference booklet which will facilitate start-ups in watercolor painting. It will be available for download everywhere. I’d love to invite the art lovers and art collectors from Greater Toronto Area, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa to simply stop by at my November 23 and December 14 art shows. I am selling original art at my studio. Prints are available from Fine Art America site.
We will be painting orchids and roses, large size. Link to floral painting class:

Your pictures are really beautiful, Inese 😀
I went into your shop to see, if I could find a gift for my mother for the Christmas and to see, where they send from, as we get problems in Europe, when packets are sent as sold packets. I can see, they only send from US, so I’m sorry, but can’t buy from your shop.
I tried last year to buy a gift from another artist in US for my mother and the gift was caught in the tax company and they demanded a fortune to release the gift, which my mother couldn’t pay and they returned the gift. I will not let this happen one more time. Not your fault, but the public control are too much for ordinary people and artists.
Thanks! Well, you do not have to buy from the shop. You can also let me know what you like, and I can send it privately, just like I am sending gifts to other people in Europe. They never had any problem. I can also find out what the shipping is. If it watercolor, it isn’t much because they are very light, about the same weight what the card of that size would be. Also, I can give a better price when sending privately. Would you just send me a message through Contact us if you are still interested? https://inesepogagallery.com/contact-us/ That way I can send an e-mail directly to you. Thanks again!
I will look and contact you through your blog. Thank you Inese.
Sure, no problem at all.
I found out and sent to you.
Saw and replied, thanks!
Fantastic art work my friend.. 😊😊😊👍🙏💙💙💙
Thanks, Craig! I appreciate that.
Tske care my friend.. 😊😊😊👍🙏💙💙💙
Thanks! I certainly do.
Beautiful pic, your flowers are always stunning, I really like your use of cool whites!
Thanks Shawn! I think flowers are really great painting subject and they pretty much come out great practically always.
What lovely work, the colors are all so soft and beautiful. I think maybe the third from the bottom is my most favorite! ❤
Thanks Melinda! I am always trying to get colors as they are in reality on a photo, but display also depends on device you’re seeing it on, as well, as my phone still has too much contrast and everything is a bit more blue than in reality. It’s very nice you looked at these painting images and took your time to comment.
Absolutely beautiful. Your art is soothing to the soul, I instantly relax when I sit and look at the beautiful details and soft colors.
Thanks! Many of them are done as demo for a class, that means, I do these watercolors very fast while people are watching and trying to paint along. I like white backgrounds, and somewhat softly shaded backgrounds. I think the only color I am intentionally avoiding is black. Most often, I also work for quite a while after class to finish up what I sometimes could not get done within 6 hours. Roses are great subject. The only thing is that internet display lacks the perfect color balance which I have.
It is fantastic that you can look at these paintings for a longer time. My husband says whenever he looks at my painting, he always discovers something new in it.
