Architectural Landscape Painting in Watercolor

May 7 - 28, 2026

4 weeks, Thursdays, 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM

Instructor: Elzara Yusufova

This 4-week course is designed to help students build a strong foundation in watercolor landscape painting, with special attention to architectural elements within the landscape. We will explore how buildings, streets, and structural forms interact with light, atmosphere, and natural surroundings.

Students will learn how to:

• Work with flat, graded, and atmospheric washes

• Control water, pigment, and timing

• Create depth and mood in landscape scenes

• Simplify complex views into clear shapes and values

• Paint architectural elements with structure, perspective, and harmony within the landscape

The course is suitable for beginners and intermediate students who want to strengthen their understanding of watercolor and gain confidence painting landscapes that include architectural subjects.

See syllabus for material list.
