Leave perfection behind and discover the joy of painting loose, expressive landscapes with watercolor and ink. Through playful washes, bold splashes of color, and lively ink work, you’ll learn how to capture the spirit of a place rather than every detail.

Over four two-hour sessions, we’ll explore how to create dynamic watercolor foundations filled with movement and atmosphere and adding expressive ink lines that bring personality, contrast, and life to each painting. You’ll learn to embrace happy accidents, simplify complex scenes, and use ink to suggest rather than define.

Whether you’re new to ink or already love combining media, this class will help you loosen your style, trust the process, and create landscapes full of energy, light, and character.

Online posting of homework will allow Sarah to individually help each student. Demos will be done in watercolor. Some experience in painting is helpful.
