Simple Watercolor Painting: Boats at Rest - Reflections on Water

Paint a Peaceful Harbor Reflection: Beginner Watercolor in One Evening Session

Find your calm at the harbor in this peaceful watercolor class! Simple Watercolor Painting: Boats at Rest invites adults and teens (Ages 16+) to paint a serene harbor scene with small boats floating in calm water. Led by instructor Raelene Vining, this beginner-friendly class at Tri Arts Project introduces basic perspective, soft reflections, and layered washes to create depth and atmosphere — teaching you to suggest detail without overworking the painting.

Open to all levels, this single Wednesday evening session is relaxing and rewarding. All art supplies are included — just bring an optional apron!

Techniques You'll Develop in This Watercolor Class

  • Wet-on-Wet & Wet-on-Dry Techniques: Learn to use these foundational watercolor methods to create soft blends and defined edges that bring the water and scene to life.
  • Depth & Dimension: Balance light and dark values to add depth and realism, making the reflective water and boats feel three-dimensional.
