In this watercolor workshop, participants will explore painting expansive skies, distant horizons, and expressive landscapes using approachable watercolor techniques. The class focuses on building balanced compositions with special attention to sky, light, and atmosphere, and is open to all experience levels.
We will cover essential watercolor skills including color mixing, layered washes, soft transitions, and creating depth through value and scale. Emphasis will be placed on capturing mood and openness rather than fine detail, with plenty of individual guidance throughout the session.
