A Sunday morning watercolour session
Fall Flowers
A Watercolour Session
Sunday, October 18, 2026 · 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Spend a quiet Sunday morning lakeside at The Green Forest Gallery on Bass Lake, painting a lush fall floral still life.
Our subjects are the flowers of the season: dahlias, lilies and late garden blooms gathered in rich autumn colour, arranged in the morning light.
This is an unhurried approach to watercolour, slowing down to really see colour and light before the brush ever touches the paper. No experience is necessary.
$28.25 including HST
Small group. Secure payment through the studio shop.
One Sunday morning · Oct. 18 · 10 AM to 12 PM · Bass Lake
Slow Down and See the Flowers
Before we paint, we look. Jennifer will guide you through a few quiet minutes of simply observing the arrangement: where the light falls, how one petal leans into another, what wants to be painted first.
From there, a relaxed demonstration on washes, layering and letting watercolour do what it does best, then the morning is yours to paint at your own pace with individual guidance throughout.
Your morning
Two hours at the gallery
1
10:00 AM
Arrive and settle in
Come in from the lake, pour a coffee, and gather around the fall floral arrangement while everyone finds a seat.
2
10:15 AM
Looking before painting
A short, quiet exercise in observation: noticing colour, light and shadow among the petals, then a demonstration of the first washes.
3
10:45 AM
Paint the flowers
You paint at your own pace while Jennifer moves between six participants, offering individual guidance on colour mixing, light and loose, lively washes.
4
12:00 PM
Take it home
We stand the mornings' work up together, and you leave with your finished floral watercolour.
The Flowers of the Season
The arrangement is gathered fresh for the morning: dahlias, lilies and late garden blooms in deep burgundy, cream and gold, so the painting you make belongs to this particular fall morning.
Each session stands alone as a complete class. Come as you are, no experience necessary.
A Quiet Morning by the Lake
This is not about producing a perfect painting. It is about giving yourself two unhurried hours to look closely, mix colour and enjoy the simple pleasure of paint and water on paper.
The Green Forest Gallery sits lakeside on Bass Lake in Oro-Medonte. With only six participants, the morning stays quiet, personal and relaxed.
