Natural Wonders Watercolours - In Studio

Service Description

Have you been saying you want to paint, learn watercolour, or make more time for your creativity… but another year keeps passing? This fall, come spend seven weeks actually doing it. **Natural Wonders Watercolours** is a 7-week creative journey through the beauty of nature, designed for beginners, returning painters, and anyone craving a regular creative practice during the darker months of the year. You don’t need to already be “good at art.” You just need to want to begin. Over seven weeks, you’ll learn how to use watercolour with more confidence while painting the things that make the natural world so beautiful: big skies, sunsets, oceans, waterfalls, trees, mountains, clouds and winter light. You’ll learn how to: • Mix beautiful, luminous colours and capture light, mood and season • Create depth, movement and atmosphere with simple, repeatable techniques • Understand watercolour rather than feeling like you’re fighting with it • Grow your confidence, even if you’re a complete beginner • Let go of perfection and actually enjoy creating And maybe just as importantly, you’ll have **two hours every week that are yours**. A place to slow down. Make something. Connect with other creative people. And remember how good it feels to use your hands and pay attention to beauty. People return to my classes year after year, and many have told me that this weekly creative time becomes something they genuinely look forward to. They come for the painting, but they also come back for the connection, confidence, encouragement and experience of creating together. In the studio, we’ll gather in my cozy Salt Spring Island space surrounded by plants, warm lighting and a hot beverage, using richly pigmented Daniel Smith watercolours, including paints made with natural mineral and gemstone pigments. **THE 7 WEEKS** Week 1: Distant Islands + Rolling Horizons Week 2: Cloudscapes + Autumn Light Week 3: Sunrises + Sunsets Week 4: Oceans + Waterfalls Week 5: Trees Week 6: Mountains Week 7: Snowscapes + Winter Light **Thursday mornings | In Studio** 10 am–12 pm beginning October 22 $625 | Only 8 spaces in each studio class My classes do fill, and some of the people joining me this fall are returning. If part of you has been thinking, I’d love to do something like this someday, ask yourself whether you really want to arrive at next fall still saying the same thing. You don’t have to wait another year to become someone who paints. Reserve your seat today!
