Lieu : VanDusen Guides Classroom | 5151 Oak St, Vancouver, BC, V6M 4H1

Description :

Cooler crisp days, changing light, golden to mauve! This is such a lovely time of year. The changing colours of autumn will inspire us in this watercolour series guided by artist and illustrator Susan Pearson. 

In this three-session series, we will cover essential techniques from beginners to more advanced, with projects and various assignments using graded washes, building light and dark values and introducing surprise colours. Fresh-cut samples from the Garden will be available for inspiration, while you will gain familiarity with the medium.  

Please bring your questions, ideas, passion, interests and art supplies! 

Online pre-registration is required. This series will take place in person on Thursdays, October 20, 27 & November 3.
