A 5-Week Watercolor Journey through Light, Clouds, and Atmosphere.

Ready to elevate your watercolor landscapes? This inspiring 5-week course is dedicated to one of the most expressive and atmospheric elements in painting: the sky.

In Sky and Clouds, you’ll explore a wide range of sky moods—from bright sunny days to dramatic sunsets—while learning how to mix colors that evoke the perfect tone and emotion. This course is ideal for those who already have some watercolor experience and want to deepen their skills in both technique and observation.

We’ll break down the process of painting skies into clear, achievable steps, guiding you through wet-on-wet and dry-on-wet techniques, understanding cloud structure, and creating harmonious compositions that feel natural and alive.

Whether you’re painting open landscapes or urban scenes, the ability to depict a compelling sky will bring depth and beauty to your work.

All necessary materials are provided by the studio.

• Sky Atmospheres in Watercolor: From crisp blue skies to glowing sunsets—understand how light and mood affect your color choices.
