About this Event
Celebrate the fresh colours and gentle light of spring in this relaxing 6-week watercolour workshop, designed for beginners and those looking to build their painting skills.
Each session focuses on a unique spring-themed scene, from blooming flowers and budding trees to sparkling streams and soft skies. You’ll learn essential watercolour techniques such as layering, wet-on-wet, dry brush, and controlled washes while exploring composition, texture, and colour harmony.
Step by step, you’ll gain confidence in creating mood, atmosphere, and depth as you capture the subtle colours and vibrant energy of the season. All supplies are included, and no prior experience is necessary, just bring your curiosity and love of painting!
Join us for a calming, creative experience in a warm and supportive setting.
About the Instructor
Diana Quilarque is a dedicated visual artist with over 26 years of experience in oil and watercolor painting. Originally from Venezuela, she developed a deep appreciation for realism through detailed landscapes, still life, and portraits. After a 20-year hiatus, she rekindled her passion for painting, studying under renowned artist Lorne Winters from 2017 to 2023. During this time, she refined her techniques and expanded her artistic vision.
Drawn to watercolor’s fluidity and expressive nature, Diana embraced the medium, allowing her to capture light, movement, and emotion in ways oil painting could not. She has exhibited her work in local art collectives and has contributed to multiple charity auctions. Passionate about teaching, she shares her expertise through workshops, guiding students of all levels to develop their skills and artistic voices. Diana believes art is a transformative experience—one that fosters creativity, mindfulness, and connection.
