Mountains & Trees in Watercolour Course
Duration: 6 weeks
All levels welcome – perfect for anyone inspired by nature’s beauty!
This 6-week watercolour course is designed for artists who want to confidently paint mountain landscapes and forest scenes with depth, atmosphere, and emotion. We’ll explore how to simplify complex natural forms, create believable light and shadow, and build strong compositions inspired by real landscapes.
Through guided demonstrations and hands-on practice, you’ll learn how to paint majestic mountains, expressive trees, and layered forests using watercolour techniques that feel loose, natural, and intentional. This course focuses on structure first, detail second, helping you create landscapes that feel spacious, grounded, and alive.
Perfect for students with some watercolor experience who want to strengthen their landscape skills and develop a more confident, cohesive style.
