A glimpse of the ocean through the trees, sunlight spilling across the sand, and two small figures at the water’s edge - “Spooner’s Cove” invites you into the scene before you ever pick up a brush. Join me October 17th & 18th for a two-day Watercolor Mastery Workshop as we paint this peaceful stretch of the Pacific Coast and explore how to capture both the beauty of a place and the feeling of being there.

I’ll guide you step by step through the painting, showing you how to simplify the scene, create depth, and use light and shadow to give your work warmth and atmosphere. We’ll explore soft coastal colors, expressive foliage, and the contrast between shaded foreground trees and the sunlit beach beyond. Whether you’re just getting started or have been painting for years, you’ll learn practical approaches you can carry into your own landscapes - and see how thoughtful choices help create a painting that draws people in.

Although this may look like a complicated painting subject, this is a workshop that has been carefully designed for artists of every skill level. Whether you're a beginner just starting your watercolor journey or a seasoned painter looking to refine your craft, this workshop will provide both inspiration and valuable techniques.

You'll be guided patiently step-by-step through the entire process, making it easy to follow along and create a beautiful finished painting you'll be proud of.
