Summer Colour Pencil Workshop: Berry Patch with Yulia Lisitsyna

The Berry Patch Atelier in Colour Pencil

Celebrate the colours of the season in this vibrant, hands-on watercolour workshop. In this 1.5-hour session, you’ll explore painting freshly picked seasonal berries inspired by those grown and foraged around local Ontario farms.

Working from direct observation, students will learn how to capture the richness, texture, and glow of berries using a variety of watercolour techniques. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created a lively, colour-filled painting that feels fresh, expressive, and full of life.
