The sky often sets the emotional tone of a landscape. In this workshop, you will explore how watercolour can capture the power and movement of dramatic skies through flowing washes, layered colour, and expressive brushwork.
Using landscape imagery as inspiration, you will learn how to paint expansive skies filled with shifting clouds, glowing light, and atmospheric colour. Rather than focusing on tiny details, you will explore how water and pigment can create natural textures and dynamic transitions.
Expect bold colour, sweeping brushstrokes, and that satisfying moment when your sky begins to feel vast and alive ;)
