Essential Watercolour Painting with David McEown

This adult masterclass introduces essential watercolour techniques and colour-perception exercises designed to strengthen your ability to paint directly from nature.

Guided by sketch and photo references, participants will explore how to translate landscape studies into expressive studio paintings, learning when to observe, interpret, and thoughtfully move beyond source material.

Embracing the spontaneity and fluidity of watercolour, this workshop highlights the medium’s versatility and portability—ideal for both studio practice and travel.

The focus of the session will be capturing the transparent, light-filled beauty of Ontario’s spring wildflowers.

This masterclass welcomes participants at an intermediate to advanced level. It is also open to individuals new to watercolour but with prior experience in other painting mediums.
