Summer Drinks in Watercolor and Ink

Is there anything more refreshing on a hot day than an icy glass of lemonade or a mojito? Come cool off as we explore the process of creating a loose, expressive watercolor and ink painting of a summer drink!

We’ll begin with practicing techniques for depicting form and texture in watercolor, emphasizing intuitive brushwork and spontaneity over strict realism. Depicting a drink in a glass may seem intimidating, but Heather will show how approachable the process can be by breaking it down into a series of steps. After gaining some confidence with creating depth through these simple exercises, we’ll then paint a lively and vibrant glass of a cold drink, finishing with ink details that add structure and character.

You’ll learn how to capture bold colors, textures, and reflections in glass as well as how to use ink to enhance the dynamic vibrancy of watercolor. All materials will be provided, and you’ll leave with a completed painting as well as principles that will enable you to create future paintings in this expressive style.

Some experience in watercolor is helpful but not required. Whether you are completely new to watercolor or are seeking to add a new way of working to your skillset, come prepared to experiment, learn a new technique, and have fun bringing to life a piece of art that truly stands out!
