Central Coast Watercolor Instruction

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT (MORE AVAILABLE IN THE COMING MONTHS)

Join us for a peaceful and inspiring 3-hour watercolor workshop as we paint
Villa Creek — a sweeping coastal cove framed by rolling hills, distant mountains, and rhythmic shoreline waves. This luminous seascape captures the beauty of
California’s coastline with soft atmospheric layers, curving surf lines, and sunlit sand. Designed for beginners and intermediate painters, this class offers clear, step-by-step instruction in a relaxed and supportive environment.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to create depth using atmospheric perspective in distant hills and mountains

• Blending smooth, glowing sky and ocean washes

• Painting gentle wave patterns and shoreline foam

• Capturing the curve of a beach using value shifts

• Suggesting rocky foreground texture with expressive brushwork

• Balancing soft passages with strong shadow shapes for contrast

Participants will learn how to control water and pigment to create both soft transitions and confident, bold marks. By the end of the class, participants will lave with a completed coastal watercolor painting, as well as greater confidence and practical techniques to apply to future work at home.

Length: 3 hours

All materials included.  **Appropriate for teen participants.

Note that sample images are by the instructor and student work may vary relative to the samples.
