About this Event
Create soft, atmospheric landscapes while building confidence in your watercolor technique. In this workshop, you’ll explore how to build depth through layering and water control, use subtle colour variation with greens and neutrals, and suggest trees and natural forms without overworking your painting. The focus is on letting the medium flow and capturing the feeling of a scene rather than every detail.
What makes this approach different is its emphasis on softness and atmosphere, helping you simplify natural scenes into something expressive and cohesive. By the end, you’ll feel more confident painting landscapes, gain a stronger understanding of depth and distance, and leave with a soft, atmospheric piece that reflects both mood and technique.
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.
