Beginner Watercolor Three-Part Class with Sylvia Gortz: Session 2
Discover the beauty of watercolor in this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop designed to build confidence and creativity. Over three sessions, students will learn essential techniques such as washes, blending, and simple shading while painting a pear still life and a colorful landscape. Step-by-step guidance makes the process approachable, helping you understand how watercolor works while developing your own loose, expressive style. No experience necessary—just come ready to paint and enjoy the process. This three-session workshop introduces the basics of watercolor painting in a relaxed, supportive environment. Students will learn fundamental techniques while creating two simple paintings: a pear still life and a basic landscape.
Session 2: Developing the Pear & Introduction to Landscape
Students continue refining the pear painting, adding depth and details. The session then introduces basic landscape concepts, including simple composition, sky and ground washes, and creating distance using color and value.
