About the Workshop
This workshop closely reflects my studio practice of painting flowers from life.
Over four live sessions, you will learn a structured approach to floral painting based on years of practice and study of 19th-century painting.
The goal is to help you build confidence and clarity in your process, so you know how to move forward when a painting feels uncertain.
We will focus on drawing, simplification, and how to observe flowers in a more intentional way.
You will work alongside me in real time, ask questions, and see my full process, including adjustments and problem-solving as they happen.

FAQ
Do I need to attend the live sessions?
No. All sessions will be recorded, and recordings will be available after each class. You can watch them at your own pace if the live schedule does not work for your time zone.
I’m a beginner. Is this workshop suitable for me?
Absolutely! This workshop is designed to accommodate beginners. You’ll receive step-by-step guidance, live demonstrations, and personalized feedback to help you feel confident throughout the process.
What medium will we be using?
The workshop will focus on oil painting. Unfortunately, acrylic and watercolour to other mediums are not suitable for this format.
Where will the workshop take place?
The workshop will be streamed live on YouTube. Participants will receive private access links before the workshop begins.
How does the Watch & Paint Tier work?
Access Tier participants will be able to attend all workshop sessions live and ask questions throughout the workshop in a shared WhatsApp group.
In addition, after the final workshop session, I will host an extra Zoom Q&A session (approximately 1 hour long). This will be an opportunity to ask any questions that come up while finishing your painting or reviewing the recordings.
Participants will also be welcome to submit their work for group critique before the Q&A session. I will select a limited number of paintings to discuss during the Zoom meeting. Due to time constraints, I cannot guarantee that every submitted work will be included in the critique.
How does the Personal Feedback Tier work?
Participants in the Feedback Tier will receive individual 20 minutes critiques after each session through Zoom meetings. During these sessions, I will review your work, provide verbal feedback, and make visual corrections directly on your images using a drawing tablet when needed.
What language is the workshop conducted in?
The workshop is conducted in English.
Do I need to paint in real time during the live sessions?
No. You are welcome to paint alongside me during the demonstrations or watch first and paint later using the recordings.
Where should I stay in Florence?
Participants are responsible for their own accommodation. I recommend staying either in the Gavinana area or in the historic city center. The studio is easily reachable from the center by city bus. Both Airbnb and Booking.com offer great options for places to stay in Florence.
What will we paint?
We will all work from the same high-resolution floral reference photograph provided by me before the workshop.
How can I contact you for more information?
Feel free to reach out to me via Instagram or email at anhelina.holembivska@gmail.com with any additional questions.
I am already a Patreon member. Will this workshop be available on Patreon?
Patreon and the workshop serve different purposes.
Patreon is a growing library of demonstrations, tutorials, and resources that you can explore at your own pace.
This workshop is a live, structured experience where we complete a floral painting together over four sessions. You’ll be able to ask questions in real time, follow every step of the process as it happens, and receive guidance throughout the workshop.
For students in the Feedback Tier, the workshop also includes personal critiques, one-on-one Zoom reviews, and Photoshop paint-over corrections that are not available through Patreon.
