Water is easier to paint than you might think. It reflects light, it filters light, it fills with light. Colors, too. We’ll explore some ways to depict water.

September Intermediate Landscape in Watercolor Class
“You know the basics—but turning a landscape into a finished watercolor still feels challenging?”
This class is designed for those who already have some watercolor experience and a love for painting landscapes. Each class is demonstration-based. You’ll receive a reference photo, and the instructor will guide you step by step—from initial sketch and value study to a finished piece. You’ll first observe the process, then paint along with guidance. Questions are welcome at any time. By the end of the course, you’ll have a clear, repeatable process for creating watercolor landscapes and the confidence to bring your own spring scenes to life.

The class is limited to 10 participants to allow for individual attention. Be prepared to get messy and have fun! Apron or old clothes are desirable. All supplies are provided. A supply fee of $20 is due to the instructor at the beginning of class. All skill levels are welcome.
