Designed for artists of all skill levels.
Travel to the peaceful Dutch countryside in our upcoming “Windmills In Watercolor” Watercolor Mastery Workshop.
Inspired by the iconic windmills of the Netherlands, this immersive live online event will guide you step-by-step as we capture the quiet elegance of these historic structures nestled beside calm water and under a gentle sky.
Windmills like these have long stood as symbols of craftsmanship and quiet resilience, scattered across the lowlands of Europe in places like Kinderdijk and Zaanse Schans. In this workshop, you'll paint their timeless silhouette, surrounded by soft reflections, distant tree lines, and the lush, tranquil charm of rural life.
This workshop blends the calm elegance of the natural landscape with the strong graphic elements of manmade structures. You’ll learn to express contrast and softness in the same scene - painting textured stone, transparent reflections, and atmospheric skies with clarity and grace. Whether you're drawn to pastoral landscapes, European scenes, or simply the beauty of watercolor storytelling, this workshop will inspire and elevate your art.
Here’s What You’ll Learn:
During the Windmills in Watercolor Workshop, you’ll discover techniques and strategies to use again and again in your painting journey, including:
Painting Atmospheric Skies and Reflections: Create soft skies and mirrored water with smooth transitions and delicate edges.
How to Simplify Complex Architecture: Learn to paint convincing windmills without overworking detail.
Using Contrast to Create Focus: Bring your center of interest forward with value and edge control.
Foreground Foliage Techniques: Frame the scene with loose, expressive greenery that complements the main subject.
Depth and Distance: Use layering and value shifts to build believable perspective across landscape planes.
Dry Brush and Texture Effects: Add life to the windmill walls with subtle details and texture variations.
Balanced Composition with Natural Rhythm: Understand how to design a painting that flows from foreground to sky.
And so much more!
