Wine'd Down Workshop: Golden Harvest Fall Watercolor Painting

Golden Harvest Fall Watercolor

Celebrate the beauty of Fall through Watercolor painting a still life, featuring pumpkins, gourds, and fall foliage with all the beloved hues of autumn.

This class will provide a seasonal and festive introduction to painting still life and use of watercolor paint. We will design a still life collaboratively as a class, ensuring that all students feel engaged and excited about their subject matter! Students will receive guidance and structured exploration around developing fundamental still life painting skills through experience, learning to observe and translate visual elements into their paintings, and focusing on techniques like value relationships, color blending, and composition.

Students will leave this workshop with a beautiful fall themed still life to hang as decoration, gift to a friend or loved one, or simply enjoy and draw inspiration from! All experience levels are welcome.
