Fall in the Mountains Watercolour Paint Night

Celebrate the beauty of autumn in the Canadian Rockies with our Fall in the Mountains Watercolour Paint Night at IN ART Studio in Calgary.

During this 3-hour watercolour class, you’ll create a colourful mountain landscape filled with dramatic peaks and vibrant autumn trees. The class will focus on simplifying mountain forms, creating depth and contrast, and using expressive watercolour techniques to capture the feeling of fall in the mountains.

With step-by-step instruction, you’ll learn how to build a landscape from large shapes to expressive finishing details while allowing watercolour to remain fresh and spontaneous.
