About this Event

Sketching the California Coast: Walton Lighthouse in Watercolor & Ink 🌊🎨

Join local artist Olga Symonenko of Artfolio By Olga for a relaxing, beginner-friendly watercolor and ink workshop inspired by the beautiful Walton Lighthouse in Santa Cruz.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to transform a photo reference into a simple, expressive travel-style sketch. Olga will guide you step by step through composition, basic shapes, watercolor washes, light and dark values, and loose ink details.

Together, you’ll create a warm sunset sky, rocky breakwater, reflections on the water, and Walton Lighthouse as the focal point of your finished piece.

✨ Perfect for total beginners — no drawing or watercolor experience needed.

🎨 All materials are included. You’ll leave with your own finished watercolor-and-ink lighthouse sketch, plus techniques you can use to continue creating travel-inspired sketches on your own.

Come create, learn something new, and capture a little piece of the California coast!
