Discover the joy of watercolour painting in this welcoming 4-week course. You'll build confidence with core techniques like wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, and paint lifting while exploring colour, texture, and effects. Learn about quality papers, brushes, and paint types, then put your skills to work painting natural subjects—skies, water, landscapes, and wildlife. By course end, you'll have a finished piece ready to treasure. All materials are provided, though bringing your own supplies is encouraged. Whether you're brand new to watercolour or simply want to refresh your skills, this supportive environment prioritizes creativity and enjoyment above all else.

Instructor: Linda Gooding has lived in Courtenay since 2005. She began her career as a technical and graphic illustrator and loves to paint using both watercolour or acrylic. In particular, the wildlife and landscape of BC provide never ending inspiration for her artwork.
