Winter Landscape in Watercolor: Paint like Henry Farrer at Asher Adams

Henry Farrer was an English-born American artist celebrated for his quiet, atmospheric watercolor landscapes. Largely self-taught, he worked almost exclusively in watercolor when most artists favored oil, and helped found the American Watercolor Society to champion the medium. 

In this class, you’ll paint your own guided study of Farrer’s 1869 piece, Winter Scene in Moonlight. After a short look at his life, we’ll break down how the painting is built, from arranging the landscape to building tone with glazes and gradients. You’ll learn foundational watercolor techniques like paint consistency and layering, and take home your finished study.
