--The Art of Watercolour: How to Paint Nature--

Follow along as visual artist and teacher Sylvia Russell shows you how to capture a beautiful Manitoba lake scene with watercolour paints.

Inspired by nature, Sylvia has spent more than 20 years painting Manitoba’s colourful landscapes from snow-covered forests to fields of wildflowers and lakes. In this free CPAWS Manitoba webinar, she will share tips and techniques for anyone hoping to learn to paint with watercolours.

You will not need supplies for this watercolour demonstration, but feel free to follow along with your own paints if you wish. Otherwise, sit back and allow yourself to enjoy the artistic process and get inspired by the colours of nature.
