Ron Souza’s Oil Painting Workshop
Basics of painting a Tropical Hibiscus

June 21nd, 22rd & 23th – 9am to 4pm
Thousand Oaks Community Gallery

Three full days of instruction on the execution of the basic techniques used in creating the State Flower of the
Hawaiian Islands, the beautiful Hibiscus.

Painting will be done on a 20” x 20” canvas, either standard or gallery wrap.

There will be a template outline provided for the drawing of the Hibiscus. It will be available in both right hand and left hand positions.

A larger or smaller canvas can be used, but the template will fit a 20” x 20” as shown in the photo.

Techniques that will be part of the workshop include:
Creating a scumbled background
Creating folds and shape in the petals
Use of shadows to create depth in the flower
Creating complementary yet unobtrusive leaves
Option to paint any color Hibiscus you desire
