Class Description:
“I’ve Looked at Clouds and the Night Sky” – A Watercolor Journey into the Celestial
Let your imagination drift into the skies above as you explore the expressive beauty of clouds, stars, and celestial landscapes in this enriching watercolor class at the California Botanic Garden. Designed for both returning students and curious new creatives, this course invites you to experiment with color, texture, and atmosphere to create luminous night skies and otherworldly cloudscapes. With a focus on blending, layering, and fine detail work, you’ll learn techniques that highlight the dreamy, unpredictable nature of watercolor.
Guided exercises and small-format studies will give you room to play and refine your approach, while also leaving space for your unique artistic voice to emerge. Through thoughtful
instruction and gentle experimentation, you’ll build confidence in composing scenes that feel ethereal yet grounded—skies that glow, stars that shimmer, and clouds that tell their own quiet stories. Whether you’re new to watercolor or looking to expand your practice, this class offers a chance to slow down, look up, and paint from a place of wonder.
Join us for a peaceful and inspiring creative experience under the artistic guidance of the skies themselves.
