Explore the beauty of the shoreline through the expressive medium of watercolor in this engaging class for artists of all experience levels. Inspired by coastal landscapes, beaches, dunes, marshes, harbors, boats, and changing skies, students will learn how to capture the unique atmosphere and light of seaside environments.

Through demonstrations, guided exercises, and individual instruction, participants will build a strong foundation in essential watercolor techniques, including brushwork, color mixing, layering, glazing, wet-on-wet painting, and creating depth and texture. More experienced painters will have the opportunity to refine their skills and explore advanced approaches to composition, color harmony, and personal expression.

Working from reference images, students will create a series of paintings while gaining confidence in watercolor’s fluid and luminous qualities. Whether you are picking up a brush for the first time or looking to strengthen your watercolor practice, this class offers a supportive and inspiring environment to develop your artistic voice while celebrating the beauty of coastal landscapes.
