Join us for a 3-week exploration into the world of watercolors at Art Oasis, Half Moon Bay. Designed for absolute beginners and those looking to deepen their practice, this course focuses on capturing the rugged beauty of our local coast. Every Saturday morning, you’ll learn to embrace the "flow" in a supportive, creative environment.
Week 1: Flora of the Bluffs & Cliffs Our focus is on color mixing and organic shapes to paint coastal wildflowers, succulents, and sea-grass. We’ll practice "negative space" around delicate petals and "layering" to create the lush greens of the coastline.
Week 2: The Language of Stone & Sand We’ll use specialized techniques like salt application, dry-brushing, and splatter to recreate the weathered textures of coastal rocks and the grainy, shifting sands of the shore.
Week 3: Treasures of the Tide This class is an introduction to precision and light. We will focus on the translucent qualities of sea glass, the intricate spirals of shells, or the simple silhouette of a shorebird to bring a focal point to your coastal scenes.
