I’ve thoroughly enjoyed two of Victoria’s Explore Floral courses and I’ve created several finished pieces for my portfolio!
“The briefs were amazing - well researched, informative, inspiring, challenging, and “on-trend”. Having the essence of the style distilled and articulated so clearly was VERY helpful! I haven’t ever done the exercise of defining style like that (never even occurred to me) and it was very clarifying.
The group dynamic was supportive and open. Victoria and the other class members all volunteered great suggestions and ideas. Probably the most fun was seeing everyone’s different interpretations of the brief - that in itself really broadened my perceptions and pushed me to try new things. I would definitely recommend the class to any artist - from “newbies” to seasoned illustrators!”

I loved trying to find new techniques myself rather than be instructed on all the steps.
“I was used to painting florals but Victoria's course pushed me in new ways. The briefs guided and inspired me, they were so informative! The course is not only about florals but also about creativity. The community is very supportive and friendly. Can't wait for the next courses, thank you for the challenges Victoria!”

I found the trends and color suggestions to be spot on and fun to create.
“I’m often painting flowers, but the Explore Florals course helped me approach painting them in a fresh way - I came up with 3 new patterns that pushed me to try methods totally different than my usual! One of them even inspired my next fabric collection.”

I've loved every second of this course! It was exactly what I needed to get out of my creative slump.
“I feel re-charged and excited to use what I've learned going forward. Thank you, Victoria!
Another wonderful inspiring course. I do a lot of florals, but Victoria’s detailed briefs have made me look at the subject in new ways. I will definitely be applying what I have learned to my future work. And of course, it was lots of fun too!
It was another amazing class! Both explore florals classes have challenged me creatively and brought my work to a new level. I can't wait for another. I will take them ALL!”

This was my first course and I am impressed by how effectively Victoria was able to spark creativity.
“With Explore Florals Victoria has created an exceptional class.
The weekly brief provides not only a mood board but also background info, which also entails the relevance of the subject matter in history. This is very useful if you have the desire to dig deeper. Then you will find loads of information and suggestions on how to approach a theme (way more than you have time in those three weeks! So you can go on and on and... ;0) ).
I found it most inspiring how Victoria manages it to give suggestions that will drive every single participant to his/her very own solution. Strongly recommended!”

Expect a wealth of inspiration and information from Explore Florals.
“Victoria knows her stuff - not only does she make beautiful art, she shares her industry knowledge through creative briefs using beautiful colour palettes, encouraging experimentation, and has built a lovely online community. I’ll definitely be taking more classes.”

Florals seemed very intimidating for me but these briefs gave me the confidence and fun I needed to get creating!
“I really enjoy Victoria’s classes! The briefs are just excellent, very structured and exciting with a color palette to set you up for success and some great portfolio pieces. I am excited to continue using the briefs to make more collections and improve as an artist and designer, I strongly recommend her classes.”

Can’t wait to sign up again.
“I adored taking Explore Florals and look forward to the next class.
Not only are the briefs interesting and on-trend, but they’re fun and challenging. I really appreciate the trend boards and devour them with interest.
The most valuable part to me is the community and level of work from fellow students. They are top-notch and I learn as much from them as I do from Victoria. They inspire me to up my game!”
