Intro to Watercolor Pencil: Paint Like the Impressionists

Discover the best of both worlds with watercolor pencils — a medium that offers all the control of drawing with the soft, fluid beauty of watercolor painting. This celebrated workshop has traveled across the state, earning praise for helping those who have never taken an art class learn to both draw and paint, while overcoming limiting beliefs around their own creativity. In this empowering, beginner-friendly session, participants are invited to explore the joy of creating art while learning how to sketch, blend, and activate color with water to create luminous effects that echo the brushwork of the Impressionist masters. Drawing inspiration from artists like Monet and Van Gogh, each participant will reimagine a famous painting in their own style. Along the way, you’ll gain confidence, develop simple observational techniques, and experiment with professional-grade Derwent and Castle Arts watercolor pencils.
