Warm light spilling across a quiet street. Flowers swaying in the heat of the afternoon. Sunlit trees alive with color and movement. Summer offers fleeting moments of beauty, and watercolor is uniquely suited to capturing them with freshness, spontaneity, and life.
The next Terracotta Symposium invites you into a vibrant watercolor experience featuring four artists, including Lorraine Simonds, Yong Hong Zhong, Johnny Thomas, and Carol Carter, each bringing their own distinct approach to interpreting the spirit of the season. Through a variety of subjects and techniques, these artists will guide you in exploring how to paint the warmth, atmosphere, and energy that make summer feel unforgettable.
Across this special event, you’ll learn how to simplify shapes, preserve luminous light, and create paintings that feel effortless without becoming overworked. From glowing florals and sun-drenched landscapes to expressive brushwork and fresh color harmony, each session offers insight into capturing both the mood and movement of summer in watercolor.
This interactive symposium encourages you to paint along, ask questions, and immerse yourself in the joy of watercolor alongside a community of fellow artists. Whether you’re drawn to the brilliance of sunlight, the softness of petals, or the lively rhythm of outdoor scenes, Scenes of Summer will help you translate the season’s fleeting beauty into confident, expressive brushstrokes.
