Watercolor Techniques: The Golden Hour

A fall landscape watercolor workshop with Rebecca Peters

In this workshop Rebecca Peters will show you how to capture that warm autumn light in watercolor — painting a sunlit forest using a limited palette of colors layered together to create a glowing fall landscape.

You'll start with a step-by-step drawing of a forest of trees before building up color in a series of luminous layers to bring your painting to life. Along the way you'll learn how to work with a limited palette to achieve rich, glowing results — a technique you can return to again and again in your own practice.

This class is designed for beginner and intermediate painters, and Rebecca works with each student at their own level, making this a welcoming and encouraging experience for everyone in the room. No experience necessary — just a love of color and a curiosity for something new! Open to ages 14 and up.

All materials are provided — paint, paper, and brushes are all included. Students are welcome to bring their own brushes if they prefer.
