DESCRIPTION

This course is designed for novice and intermediate watercolour painters. Students who have previous experience with watercolours or have taken the 'Intro to Watercolours' will find this a valuable course. Learn how to paint the vibrant colours of fall and create an autumn scene that represents the spendor of this most beautiful season.

Students will do some studies in colour and technique for the first half of the class to warm up. Then you will be lead through a fall painting.

Cati's goal is to take the fear factor out of watercolour and make it fun for new artists!

YOUR TUTOR

Cati VanVeen

Cati took her first watercolour course at the University of Guelph where she did her Bachelor of Fine Arts, many years ago! Her first experience was not great, she had painted extensively in acrylics and found that watercolour was very challenging. 

Over the years she has painted many portraits and landscapes in this medium. As a high school art teacher she shared her skills and her techniques with hundreds of students. She learned how to teach the basic elements that anyone can build on and have fun with!

Cati retired from teaching in 2023 and she has since opened a studio on her property where she has been happily painting many sunset scenes on slate tiles and, of course, watercolours!
