Skillshare - Expressive Watercolor Seascapes: Capture Light, Movement, and Mood

There’s something timeless and tranquil about a lighthouse standing against the sea. In this class, we’ll paint a peaceful coastal scene featuring a glowing sky, rolling waves, and a distant lighthouse, all in soft, expressive watercolours.  This class is perfect for both beginners and more experienced artists who want to loosen up and explore the fluid beauty of seascapes. I’ll guide you step by step through the process, showing you how to use wet-on-wet blending, gentle layering, and lifting techniques to create depth and atmosphere in your painting.  We’ll focus on building a calm, inviting sky, capturing the motion of waves, and painting the lighthouse as a focal point without getting lost in fussy detail. The goal is to let watercolour work its magic, embracing soft transitions, natural textures, and expressive brushwork.
