Painting Nature with Watercolour (ages 16+)
|
Tuesdays 6:30-8pm
February 3-March 10/26 This 6-week beginner-friendly watercolour course invites you to explore the beauty of nature through painting trees, plants, and skies, while building essential landscape painting skills. Each week, you’ll be guided step-by-step through fundamental watercolour techniques, including colour mixing and blending, layering washes, creating texture, and developing depth and atmosphere in your paintings. Through a series of approachable projects, you’ll learn how to capture light, movement, and mood—whether it’s the softness of clouds, the structure of tree branches, or the gentle flow of foliage. Emphasis is placed on observation, experimentation, and enjoying the process rather than perfection. No prior watercolour experience is required. This relaxed and supportive environment is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to refresh their skills, connect with nature through art, and leave each class with increased confidence and beautiful, expressive work.
