Step into the intimate, magnified world of Georgia O’Keeffe, where flowers become vast landscapes of color, form, and quiet  mystery. In this immersive watercolor workshop, we channel the iconic American modernist by recreating one of her celebrated iris visions—focusing on the luminous purples, velvety depths, and elegant ruffles of an iris  bloom (inspired by works like Light of Iris (1924) and her ethereal purple-toned irises). O’Keeffe once said she painted flowers large “so that people would take time to look at  them.” Through guided instruction, you’ll do just that: slow down, observe deeply, and  translate the flower’s lovely curves and subtle shifts in light into translucent watercolor  layers. 

Dana Childs seeks to inspire painters as well as inform and encourage them. She works  to gently encourage them, while offering constructive suggestions based upon solid  technique and artistic concepts. Childs loose and interpretive style is infectious and will  spark the artist within you. She has developed a strong sense for reading her students  after 28+ years of teaching watercolor painting and other forms of media. You can  learn more and view her art at www.dlauren.org.
