Sketch & Watercolor Workshop

Participants will learn fundamental sketching & watercolor techniques, from mixing colors and controlling washes to layering and adding detail, while observing and sketching the local flora and fauna of the farm. Guided exercises will help you translate your observations into expressive, dynamic paintings, encouraging both careful study and creative interpretation. Along the way, you’ll develop skills in composition, color, and texture, using the shapes and patterns of leaves, flowers, and wildlife as inspiration. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with original watercolor artworks that capture the character of the farm’s landscapes, as well as the confidence to continue painting on your own.

All materials will be provided.

Please bring a water bottle, good walking shoes, a hat, and a snack.

Accessibility: This workshop includes extended periods of walking, bending, and standing. Please inform staff of any necessary accomodations.
