Narrative: Who doesn't love Jo Sonja Jansen's beautiful florals? Their vibrant colors, graceful movement, and incredible depth have made them favorites among decorative painters for years. While these flowers are stunning, many painters find them challenging to master—and that's where Mary's teaching talents truly shine.
Mary Svenson has a wonderful gift for breaking complex techniques down into easy-to-follow, step-by-step instruction. She carefully guides students through each layer, making it easier to build the depth, shading, and highlights that bring these florals to life.
Many painters have requested that Mary teach this treasured design, and we are delighted to offer the opportunity. We hope you'll join us to paint Jo Sonja's Australian Florals, a timeless heirloom piece that was originally taught as a seminar project. Whether you are a longtime admirer of Jo Sonja's work or looking to expand your floral painting skills, this class promises to be both educational and rewarding.
By the end of the class, you'll not only have a beautiful piece to display, but you'll also gain techniques and confidence that can be applied to future floral projects for years to come.
