In this watercolour class, you will paint six mountains - including Cascade, Rundle, Ha Ling, Three Sisters, Temple, and Mount Assiniboine - in a whimsical way.
Alongside learning some basic watercolour techniques, each class covers the history of one of these six mountains, including information on early mountain explorers, artists and Indigenous people and their stories connected to that mountain. Enjoy learning in a friendly online environment from the comfort of your home. This class is for all levels. No painting experience is necessary. Beginners welcome!
