About this Event
Winter Cabin Watercolour Workshop
Join us for a cozy 1.5-hour watercolour workshop inspired by winter landscapes and rustic Canadian cabins. In this beginner-friendly session, students will explore the spontaneity of transparent watercolour washes while learning how to build atmosphere and depth. You will experiment with fine-tipped Princeton brushes and Prismacolor pencils to render dense forests, textured stacks of firewood, and cool blue winter shadows surrounding sugar shacks, iconic symbols of the Canadian winter spirit. Guided step by step, this workshop is relaxed, approachable, and easy to follow, making it perfect for beginners and anyone looking for a creative winter escape.
Duration: 1.5 hours
Date: February 19 and 27, 2026
Time: 5:30PM - 7:00PM
