SUMMARY:Wide Open Skies: Painting Western Landscapes in Watercolor
DESCRIPTION:Wide Open Skies: Painting Western Landscapes in Watercolor \nwith Leslie Lambert \nWednesdays\, April 8 – May 6 | 5:30-7:30pm \n$120 / MVAC Members \n$150 / Non-Members (membership begins at on $25/year!

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. \nWe’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. \nNo drawing experience needed – beginners and returning painters are welcome. \nPlease bring your own watercolor supplies (suggested supply list below)\, or purchase a complete beginner supply kit from Leslie for $75 – optional\, pre-order is recommended.
