Embrace the serene beauty of winter through watercolor. In this beginner-friendly course, you’ll learn to paint snowy woods, frosted trees, quiet lakes, and glowing twilight skies—capturing the calm and subtle color shifts that make this season so magical. Step by step, we’ll explore essential watercolor techniques including washes, layering, texture effects, and brush control, while focusing on the unique light and atmosphere of winter scenes. Each week builds confidence through guided projects and demonstrations, with plenty of room for personal expression. You’ll discover how to paint snow that sparkles, shadows that feel crisp, and skies that seem to glow from within. By the end of the session, you’ll have a small portfolio of winter landscapes—and the confidence to keep painting long after the snow melts.
