Workshops

Skill, Insight & Context

All workshops follow a structured, immersive format.

Workshops go beyond technique. Each one weaves together three strands of learning:

  • TECHNIQUE + CRAFT – practical watercolor skills and methods needed to be a confident watercolorist

  • THEORY + INSIGHT – how and why these methods work together

  • ART HISTORICAL CONTEXT – the artists, movements and ideas that shaped the visual language of landscape painting that still influence us today

In every workshop, you’ll not only complete a few paintings, you’ll also understand why it works, where it comes from and how it connects to the larger story of art.

Workshops combine demonstration, guided practice and discussion, so you walk away with new skills and a renewed sense of art appreciation and artistic purpose.
