2026 Spring Watercolor Workshop is open for enrollment!
This is a small group, intensive workshop designed for beginner watercolorists who want to gain confidence and control with the medium. This Beginner Watercolor Bootcamp focuses on mastering watercolor fundamentals — from handling paint and water, to simplifying subjects, applying the right visual treatment, and developing a cohesive color palette through primary color mixing.
What’s valuable about the course
Many beginners struggle not because of a lack of creativity, but because they don’t yet understand how to control the medium or build a strong foundation for their painting. This workshop helps you overcome those early hurdles by teaching a step-by-step approach to painting simple yet compelling subjects — landscapes, still life, and small scenes — using clear tonal contrast, intentional brushwork, and color harmony.
You’ll learn:
- How to control water, pigment, and timing for confident washes and textures
- How to simplify any subject into strong light, mid, and dark value shapes
- How to choose the right visual treatment for different subjects (soft vs. hard, loose vs. defined)
- How to mix a full range of colors using just three primaries — for beautiful, natural, and cohesive results
