Want to give watercolor a try but only have one day to spare? This one-day workshop is your perfect introduction to the world of outdoor painting. Whether you’re a complete beginner or just looking to step outside of the studio, this workshop will help you embrace the joy of painting with watercolor in an inspiring and social setting.
We’ll meet at the Schack Art Center before heading out (weather permitting) to paint at a nearby outdoor location. Painting from real life brings a sense of excitement and freshness that you can’t get from working in a studio or from photos—and you’ll get the added bonus of connecting with fellow creatives who share your passion.
You’ll learn the essentials of watercolor: creating smooth washes, understanding the balance of water and paint, layering color, and capturing the beauty of your surroundings. Whether it’s a tree, the sky, or a body of water, you’ll discover how to approach each scene with confidence and creativity.
All materials are provided—just bring yourself, a portable seat or cushion for working outside.
