Mist softens the world, blurring edges and creating a quiet sense of distance and mystery. In this workshop, you will learn how to paint atmospheric landscapes where light and form gently
dissolve into layers of mist.
Using landscape references as inspiration, you will explore how watercolour’s natural transparency can create subtle gradients, soft silhouettes, and distant forms. The focus will be on suggesting atmosphere rather than defining every detail. Through careful control of water and tone, you will discover how a few simple shapes can evokedepth, stillness, and space within a landscape.
