Masterclass Description:

Celebrate the return of light, color, and life with “Put Some Spring in Your Step”, a vibrant new online watercolor workshop from Dan Marshall. This special session focuses on capturing the unique spirit of spring—its bright contrasts, hazy atmosphere, and the fresh color notes that breathe energy into the landscape.

Through clear demonstrations and guided exercises, Dan will explore how to interpret spring’s shifting light—crisp highlights against soft shadows, misty morning light, and the bloom of warm and cool tones. You’ll learn how to use a limited palette to convey seasonal luminosity, atmospheric softness, and the punch of color that defines spring.

Key takeaways include:

• Using value and edge control to depict hazy light and sharp contrast

• Introducing subtle, expressive color to elevate your tonal foundation

• Creating a strong narrative with seasonal mood and atmosphere

• Strategies for painting spring scenes with energy and restraint

Whether you’re painting sunlit streets, flowering trees, or soft, moody skies, this workshop will give you the tools to translate the poetry of spring into expressive watercolor.

Bring your brushwork out of winter hibernation—and put some spring in your step.
