Watercolor: Mixing Greens for Summer Paintings

Continuing Education Classes | Art Classes

Saturday, July 25, 2026 | 10 a.m.–1:30 p.m.
Preregistration Required

Summer landscapes have a range of green shades. There are the warm greens of mature leaves, cool dark greens in the shadows, vivid greens of water-lily pads—endless variations of green. The ability to mix lots of green from only a few paints will give you flexibility in your artwork. The instructor will briefly discuss color theory and how to enhance a color by choosing the colors around it, taking into account pigment properties like transparency and granulation. Students will then paint a summer landscape, working from photos.
