In this session, we will explore the balance between the vibrant, warm reds of geraniums and the deep, cool tones of a cobalt blue vase. This painting offers a wonderful opportunity to practice backlighting and transparency, specifically focusing on how to render rain droplets on a windowpane against the soft, blurred garden background.

This watercolor class focuses on painting a tranquil night scene of a sailboat under the moon as seen through a window. You will learn to use smooth, wet-on-wet washes to create a dark night sky surrounding the clouds which are illuminated by a bright full moon. We will capture the warm light of the lantern softly casting light upon the curtains. This is an intermediate to advanced class.
