About this Event
Learn to capture the calm beauty and movement of the ocean in this focused watercolor workshop. You’ll explore painting simple ocean compositions, creating soft waves, blending colours for realistic water effects, and working with transparency and flow to bring your seascapes to life.
This workshop emphasizes a calm, rhythmic approach to painting water, making it easier to understand and enjoy the process. By the end, you’ll have better control over water and paint, and leave with greater confidence in depicting movement and fluidity in your artwork.
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.
