Inspired by the spectacular Plitvice Lakes, learn to paint the beauty and motion of waterfalls and cascades in this watercolour course, with dynamic brushwork, layered washes, and textural techniques.

 Be swept away by the movement, texture, and energy of flowing water! In this 6-week course, we will explore the splendour of waterfalls, cascades, and lakes using the fluid nature of watercolour.

 Using brush techniques, tonal contrast, and the magic of leaving whites, you’ll learn to suggest water in motion – tumbling, swirling, and falling. This course is ideal for those who want to develop their expressive landscape painting skills while celebrating the life and rhythm of water in nature.

Classes include:

  1. Distant Waterfalls and Lake – Introduction to Flow & Form.
  2. Waterfall Reflections - Reflections and Ripples.
  3. Stream Cascades – Cascades in Layers.
  4. Multi Waterfall Cascades – Creating the illusion of vertical flow.
  5. Waterfall – The Power of Water Falling
  6. White-water Cascade – Capture the excitement of random water movement.

 Skills Covered include:

  • Wet-in-wet and wet-on-dry techniques
  • Brushwork for movement and energy
  • Saving whites and using contrast for light effects
  • Compositional planning
  • Textural effects: splatter, lift-off, spray bottle for ‘random’
