Blue Ridge Mountains in Watercolor w/ local artist Casi Fordham

Join us at ArtPlay for a Sunday afternoon of watercolor painting, community & creativity, learning the art of landscape painting with watercolors. Bring an image of our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain surroundings or other landscape setting that inspires you!

In this class, you’ll experience the wonders of layering transparent colors to create layered images of our beautiful Blue Ridge mountains or other favorite landscape.

Casi will guide you into the world of watercolors as you learn the joy of layering and building up a colorful landscape. She will share tips, tools, techniques, & demonstrations as you learn the art of painting with watercolors. You will begin with a step-by-step watercolor demo where you will warm-up by practicing some foundational skills, and then transition into landscape painting.

Throughout the class, you will be guided in exploring basic techniques, breaking down the elements of a landscape and building values.

Please bring a reference photo as a visual muse (magazine page, or photo on your phone from a hike, a favorite mountain-scape; beach scene, meadow, forest, or anything that captures your heart and eye, to use as inspiration).

A light snack and glass of wine will be served.

All materials included. No experience needed.
