3-5p
Learn the basics of painting a beautiful, atmospheric misty forest in watercolor. In this workshop, you'll explore essential techniques for creating soft, hazy backgrounds, layering trees and foliage, creating depth with values, and using color to capture the feeling of mist and atmosphere.
Designed with beginners in mind, this workshop will break down the process step by step so you can build confidence while learning how to simplify a forest scene into manageable shapes and layers.
Ages 14+.
If you plan on bringing your own supplies, please bring:
Full range of watercolors
Mixing palette or tray
Watercolor brushes in a size 4, 6, or 8 (or whatever your preference is)
Cold pressed Watercolor paper (brands I love using are Arches, Hahnemuhle, and Fabriano Artistico, and any handmade 100% cotton watercolor paper). We’ll need this for the effects we want to achieve.
Pencil and eraser
Paper towel or cloth
Water jar for rinsing brushes
