Watercolor – Mountains, Joanna Coke 2025-2026

Watercolor – Mountains, Joanna Coke 2025-2026

Joanna Coke, B-I

Tuesdays 9:30-12:00

Painting mountains is all about creating greater depth in your artwork. You will learn about how to use color temperature (warm and cool) as well as the various types of edges to create that feeling. Since mountains are panoramic views, cut your paper more horizontal to enhance that feeling. You will create a sample painting in the first class. From there you can create your own landscape image from your photo references.

S1: Mar 3, 10, 17, 24
