Do you know the basics of watercolor painting, but feel that a finished landscape still feels challenging? Then this class is for you! It is designed for artists who already have some watercolor experience and a love for painting landscapes. Over 4 weeks (2.5 hours per session), we’ll explore the beauty of spring—soft light, fresh greens, and flowing water—through small-format watercolor paintings. 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 class, you’ll have a clear, repeatable process for creating watercolor landscapes and the confidence to bring your own spring scenes to life.
