Join us for a magical autumn day of flowers, color, and creativity at Marilla Field & Flora, a beautiful flower farm just minutes from Ann Arbor. Artists of all levels are welcome to enjoy a relaxing day of creating floral-inspired artwork surrounded by natural beauty.
We’ll start with playful warm-up exercises before creating a vibrant color palette inspired by the autumn flowers around us—giving you the confidence to bring harmony to your artwork. Then, we’ll take a refreshing stroll through rows of gorgeous blooms, letting the sights, scents, and colors of nature spark our creativity and inspire the pieces we’ll bring to life. Afterwards, we will head back to the studio and put everything together to create one-of-a-kind floral artwork.
Enjoy delicious snacks from local businesses, a supportive atmosphere, and the joy of creating in nature, this workshop is the perfect way to embrace the season's beauty. You will walk away with new techniques that you can use again and again as you embrace the beauty of flowers through art.
Techniques you will learn:
Fun Warm-Ups: Loosen up with expressive drawing exercises designed to help you embrace your unique creative style. And don’t worry if you haven’t drawn since eighth grade—these playful exercises will take you right back to doodling in the margins of your notebook.

Floral Brushwork Made Easy: Learn how to paint leaves, petals, stems, and grasses with effortless, flowing brushstrokes. Play with pressure, movement, and technique to bring your florals to life with grace and energy!
