Have you ever wished you could preserve the breathtaking beauty of a sunset?
In
this focused four-week course, you’ll learn exactly how to do that.
Together, we’ll move beyond the basics and explore how to transform the
radiant colors and tranquil atmosphere of twilight into your own
expressive, small-format watercolor paintings. This class is the perfect
next step for those who are ready to turn inspiration into finished
artwork with confidence and intention.
Following a "new scene each week" format, each session guides
students through the completion of a distinct, small-format sunset
painting using their own paints and brushes. This intensive four-week
program builds on your foundational watercolor skills and shifts your
practice from experimentation to purposeful creation. Designed for
students eager to strengthen their personal workflow, the curriculum
weaves together art-historical context, core design principles,
step-by-step demonstrations, and encouraging, constructive critique.
By the end of the course, you will know how to translate real-world
scenes into fully realized small-format watercolor paintings, empowering
you to use watercolor as a reliable, expressive tool for capturing and
interpreting the beauty in everyday life. Students will walk away with
not only new techniques but also complete at least four pieces and a
deeper understanding of their own artistic voice.
