Lake Superior Guided Watercolor with Jordan Larson Art

Join us on Tuesday, May 20th, 2025, at Wild State Cider for a creative and relaxing watercolor class where you’ll paint a beautiful, abstract Lake Superior piece—with two options to choose from!
At checkout, you’ll choose between two project options:

Mini Framed Version: Work on smaller 5×5” paintings side by side—experiment with colors and techniques before selecting your favorite to mat and frame in a 12×12” black square frame, ready to display. *The frame pictured here, is the frame I will be providing.

Larger 8×10” Version: Focus on unframed 8×10” paintings side by side, giving you the flexibility to frame it at home in your own style.

In this class, we’ll explore blending, layering, washes, and textures, with watercolor and then allowing you to bring your unique vision to life with abstract elements using ink if you choose. Whether you choose the framed set or the larger standalone piece, you’ll leave with a beautiful finished artwork inspired by Lake Superior.
No experience needed! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned artist, this class is designed to be fun, approachable, and inspiring.
All painting supplies, matting, and frame included.
