Dawn in the Mountains Watercolour Paint Night

Capture the peaceful beauty of an early morning in the Rockies during our Dawn in the Mountains Watercolour Paint Night at IN ART Studio in Calgary.

In this 3-hour class, you’ll create a luminous mountain landscape with a glowing sunrise, layered mountain peaks, evergreen silhouettes and beautiful reflections on the water. The focus will be on using watercolour to create light, atmosphere, depth and a sense of distance.

With step-by-step instruction, you’ll learn how to build the painting gradually while keeping the colours fresh and transparent.
