From pounding surf to rocky shore and tranquil slough, coastal scenes provide infinite inspiration and drama for beginning and advanced artists.

Discover what you can achieve as Cheryl demonstrates how to:

Get to know the materials—pick paints, brushes, and equipment to suit your project.
Watch as she shows you some watercolor basics : graded and wet-into-wet washes, dry brush techniques.
Cheryl will break down the coastal elements—and demonstrate how she paints surf and sky, rocks and beaches, birds and boats.

Cheryl’s step-by-step approach takes the intimidation out of this beautiful but often-mystifying medium, so come and learn something new and be inspired!
