Join us for a peaceful and inspiring 3-hour watercolor workshop as we paint a South Jetty view of Morro Rock, a snapshot view of the iconic Morro Rock as seen from the South Jetty.

Designed for beginner and intermediate painters, this relaxed class offers clear, step-by-step instruction in a supportive studio environment. You’ll learn approachable watercolor techniques while creating a luminous California coastal landscape of your own.

What You’ll Learn

In this workshop, participants will practice:

• Creating depth with atmospheric perspective in distant hills and mountains

• Blending smooth, glowing sky and ocean washes

• Painting gentle water patterns and shoreline

• Capturing the curve of a beach using value shifts

• Suggesting rocky foreground texture with expressive brushwork

• Balancing soft passages with bold shadow shapes for contrast

You’ll explore how to control water and pigment to create both soft transitions and confident, expressive marks. By the end of class, you’ll leave with a completed coastal watercolor painting, along with practical techniques you can continue using for your own watercolor inspirations.
