A 2-hour recorded workshop to help you translate inspiration into brushstrokes—and go beyond the same old five-petal flower.
Learn to simplify
what you see and paint flowers that move, dance, and come alive on the page.
Learn how to simplify what you see and paint flowers that move, dance, and come alive on the page.
No Formula Florals 2.0
You want to
paint florals that feel
full of life.
Flowers that point in different directions.
That carries movement and rhythm in your compositions.
But when you sit down to paint, you fall back on the same shapes.
The front-facing rose.
The five-petal daisy.
You try using a reference photo but it feels overwhelming.
So you go back to searching for the next tutorial that promises to help you paint “X.”
I am ready to paint flowers that dance!
Here’s what no one tells you:
The reason your
florals feel flat:
Most tutorials teach you
how to copy
someone else’s imagination.
So when it’s just you and a blank page, you don’t know what to look for or how to begin.
You fall back on memory. And most of us left school thinking flowers had five perfect petals.
So we paint what’s familiar. What feels safe.
When you
stop trying to paint a flower and
start looking for shapes.
Everything loosens up.
The pressure fades.
The marks start to make sense.
But this is where everything starts to shift.
You begin to
notice curves, overlaps, direction.
You start finding petals inside the strokes
your brush already knows how to make.
And suddenly,
you’re not copying anymore.
You’re composing.
That’s what sets you free.
And that’s exactly what
this workshop
is here to teach you.
Let's make your paintings come alive
Imagine this:
You open a flower reference and you know how to simplify it.
You can see which direction the petals are facing.
You feel confident deciding where to place them and how to make them move.
You’re not stuck in your head.
You’re in your body. In your brush. In your flow.
Your flowers dance.
Your composition breathes.
And for the first time, your painting feels truly alive.
Inside this workshop, you’ll learn:
✔ How to see and simplify floral shapes from real-life references

“Jillian is an incredible teacher. She is kind and humble and always encouraging. I love that she shared the brush strokes so that I can practice them to build muscle memory”
- Aalekha
“I have attended a few workshops and no one gives the knowledge and insight like Jillian does! Florals always seem intimidating but Jillian taught so well and gave me courage to try!”
- Crystal Tan
“The clear breakdown of all the different brushstrokes and what each brush can do. And also getting a chance to play with the flat brush in all the ways you suggested. I never had anyone show me how to use a square brush in the way you use it! So good!”
“I have attended several workshops with Jillian and each time I walk away with a renewed excitement for watercolors. She shares her knowledge and experience generously and makes participating welcoming and fun. Jillian has allowed me to attempt techniques I have not considered, breaks them down to digestible nuggets and makes otherwise intimidating techniques approachable. Thanks Jillian for leveling up my watercolor skills!”
