Spend a creative day on the Cambria coast exploring watercolor landscape painting during Watercolor Wonders: Hills & Valleys, a full-day workshop led by local artist and instructor Jay Stieler.
Hosted at the scenic grounds of Camp Ocean Pines, this immersive class invites participants to capture the beauty of rolling hills, peaceful valleys, and coastal light through watercolor techniques designed for both beginners and experienced painters.
Throughout the day, instructor Jay Stieler will guide participants through a series of techniques used to create expressive landscapes, including:
- Layering watercolor washes to build gentle hills and slopes
- Mixing natural greens and earth tones for realistic landscapes
- Using light and shadow to shape terrain
- Creating depth and perspective in watercolor compositions
Stieler is the founder of Coast Art House and a well-known Central Coast watercolor artist who specializes in land and seascapes. His workshops emphasize creativity, confidence, and helping artists discover their own voice through watercolor.
The workshop includes all materials and a lunch provided by Camp Ocean Pines.
Instruction will take place both indoors and outdoors depending on weather conditions.
