Join award-winning watercolor artist Steve Griggs for a dynamic “paint-along” class designed to help you build confidence, loosen up your style, and explore expressive landscape painting. Each week, Steve will create a full landscape painting from start to finish as you paint alongside him. Through clear demonstrations and step-by-step guidance, he’ll show you how to approach composition, brushwork, color, and movement to achieve fresh, evocative watercolor scenes.

Expect a relaxed, supportive environment where you can try new techniques, gain insight into Steve’s process, and discover what’s possible with a loose, atmospheric approach.
