About this Event

Welcome to Beginners' Watercolour and Gouache Landscapes!

Join us for a fun-filled day of exploring the beauty of landscapes through watercolour and gouache painting. Whether you're a total newbie or just looking to brush up on your skills, this event is perfect for all levels of experience. All materials are provided, so all you need to do is bring yourself!

Ann Mackowski will guide you through the basics of creating stunning landscapes using watercolours and gouache paints. You'll learn techniques, tips, and tricks to bring your artwork to life--you'll be amazed by what you can produce with just a few brushstrokes! Best of all, you'll be able to return home with your very own painted landscape!

We'll be using a mix of transparent watercolours and gouache--an opaque water based medium--to create dynamic, emotion filled works while also covering elements of composition and painting design.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to unleash your creativity and connect with fellow art enthusiasts. See you in the Fry Room at 8 Hop Gardens for a day of painting and fun!
