About this event

Spend a cozy & colorful Sunday afternoon with us, learning to paint a landscape setting with watercolors! Bring an image of our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain surroundings or other landscape setting that inspires you. In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll experience the wonders of layering transparent colors to create layered images of our beautiful Blue Ridge mountains or other favorite landscape. Casi is a wonderful teaching artist who will guide you into the world of watercolors as you learn the joy of layering and building up a colorful landscape. She will share tips, tools, techniques, & demonstrations as you learn the art of painting with watercolors. You will begin with a step-by-step watercolor demo where you will warm-up by practicing some foundational skills, and then transition into landscape painting. Throughout the class, you will be guided in exploring basic techniques, breaking down the elements of a landscape and building values. Please bring a reference photo as a visual muse (magazine page, or photo on your phonefrom a hike, a favorite mountain-scape; beach scene, meadow, forest, or anything that captures your heart and eye, to use as inspiration). A light snack and glass of wine will be served. All materials included. No experience needed.
