Watercolour Landscape
Class Description
From a reference image to a finished piece, Samantha will share her process of creating expressive watercolour landscapes.

Techniques such as interpreting a scene into simple shapes, the use of colour, bold brushwork, and experimental mark-making will be demonstrated and practiced during the class.

The goal is to have fun while challenging the artist to explore their personal style.
About the Artist
Samantha Reimer is a watercolour artist based in Oro-Medonte, Ontario. Her paintings are expressive interpretations of local landscapes and shoreline scenes of Georgian Bay and Muskoka.

With a background in fine art landscape photography, Samantha discovered an interest in watercolour painting four years ago, and continues to develop her skills in the medium. Spending time in the landscape is an important part of her process, venturing out to paint en plein air all year round.
