Experience the beauty, space, and quiet drama of the West through watercolor. In this 6-week in-person course, we’ll paint expansive skies, rolling foothills, sagebrush plains, distant mountains, and the warm shifting light that makes the west feel endless. Each lesson includes guided demonstrations, clear step-by-step instruction, and plenty of hands-on painting time.
We’ll learn how to layer transparent washes to create depth, mix natural earth-inspired color palettes, and use soft edges and atmospheric perspective to express distance and mood. The focus is on simple shapes, confident brushwork, and capturing the feeling of the landscape rather than detailed rendering.
No drawing experience needed – beginners and returning painters are dwelcome.
Please bring your own watercolor supplies or purchase a complete beginner supply kit from Leslie for $75 – optional, pre-order is recommended. Call MVAC at 208-734-2787 to reserve your kit.
