Dive into the world of landscape watercolor painting in this beginner-friendly class!
As part of an on-going series highlighting the beauty of the natural world through painting, this class will focus on mountain vistas and northern coniferous forests. We’ll practice how to paint mountains and evergreen trees using a limited palette, and how to combine these elements into finished paintings. Join me in this meditative workshop to capture the essence of the great outdoors on paper.
