Explore the Beauty of Rolling Landscapes
Join us at a scenic coastal retreat for a full-day watercolor experience where art and nature meet. In Watercolor Wonders: Hills and Valleys, you’ll learn how to capture the graceful lines and peaceful moods of the land — from sunlit meadows to misty hillside slopes.
This inspiring day combines skilled guidance, relaxed creativity, and the natural beauty of California’s coast. You’ll learn…
● Layering washes to create gentle slopes and distant hills
● Color mixing for natural greens and earth tones
● Using light and shadow to shape landscapes
● Techniques for depth, perspective, and flowing contours
