From Scene To Soul

A gouache and pastel journey into landscapes and the emotions they hold. I often think of painting landscapes as a conversation — one where nature speaks through light, color, and movement, and we respond with brushstrokes, marks, and texture. In this class, we’ll explore how to capture not just the way a place looks, but the way it speaks to you — the hush of mist in morning air, the warmth of first light spilling over hills, or the bold energy of sunlit rock. Using gouache and pastel, we’ll move beyond simple representation and step into creating from feeling. You’ll learn how to infuse your work with emotion, memory, and personal connection, creating pieces that echo the beauty of the natural world while carrying your own voice.
