The Unconventional Valentine Heart: An Os Flower Study
Black is an unconventional color for a Valentine heart, but it is traditional for an Os design. Join Kim for this class practicing Os flowers while completing a design on a black background. Of course, you can choose to change your background to Os blue, white, red iron oxide or even a traditional Valentine red. We always want you to “Make It Your Own” and Kim will help you adjust your palette to fit your chosen color.
This class will be taught in oils, but as always, experienced users of acrylic paints are welcome. We also suggest some basic rosemaling skills. This is a fun way to study Os flowers while completing an unconventional Valentine decoration.

The design is based on a 9-inch heart. I chose the 1/8 inch thickness and no hanging hole. I like to add my own hole for hanging when it is done the choice is yours.
