Harbour Isle

Create a vibrant harbor scene featuring a bold red fishing boat as the focal point while learning the art of two-tone blending. This beginner-friendly class will guide you through painting glowing reflections, soft skies, weathered docks, and flowing water using expressive brushwork and a limited color palette. You’ll discover how contrasting warm and cool colors create depth, movement, and beautiful light throughout the painting.

During this hands-on class, students will learn how to:

• Transfer the simple drawing to the canvas.
• Block in large shapes using two-tone color combinations.
• Blend warm and cool colors directly on the canvas for soft transitions.
• Create the illusion of sunlight using light-over-dark techniques.
• Paint realistic water with sweeping horizontal brushstrokes.
• Add reflections and movement using layered color blending.
• Use highlights and shadows to make the boat appear three-dimensional.
• Finish with expressive details that bring the entire harbor scene to life.

By the end of class, you’ll leave with a colorful coastal masterpiece and a practical understanding of two-tone blending techniques that can be applied to future landscape and seascape paintings. No experience is necessary—just bring your creativity, and we’ll guide you step by step!
