    VIRTUAL:  Dynamics of Gouache

    Jason M. Bentley

    4-Week Class

    June 3 - 24

    1pm - 4pm

    $220 non-members/$180 members


    Levels:  No Experience, Beginners, and Intermediate Painters.


    Gouache has unique opaque qualities compared to watercolor, although their similarities allow for interchangeable use if you wish. Gouache is a forgiving medium, as what is put down on the surface of paper can be painted over, or worked into again for the desired result. So it’s an easy medium to learn from and have fun with.

    This course will be divided into one technique practice day, and 3 project days. Each designed to further your understanding of dynamics such as water to pigment ratios for varied opaqueness, fluidity, color mixing technique on paper and palette, and more. This just might become one of your favorite mediums!

    This open and interactive course will spotlight my palette, work surface, and reference in real time, so you can directly see how I mix and apply paint. Questions are encouraged at any time. At the start of each day, special short demonstrations from any inquiries will be addressed, and then intermittently to describe the project process from start to finish.

    1pm - 4pm

    $220 non-members/$180 members


    Experience Level: No experience or beginner.

    This course is designed for those with little or no experience in watercolor. First and foremost, it’s all about committing a few rules to memory, being adventurous, and willing to work with a little of the unexpected as you practice! Starting from the very beginning, on the first day, we will talk about different materials uses and surfaces - both the ones I recommend, and the ones you may already have or have questions about. The following three days we will work on techniques and small projects that present basic pigment mixing, brush technique, paint control, and surface handling. Afterwards, with a big confidence boost, you’ll be ready to tackle your next projects! Are you swimming in questions like “how do I…?” Then this class is for you.

    This open and interactive course will spotlight my palette, work surface, and reference in real time, so you can directly see how I mix and apply paint. Questions are encouraged at any time.

    Below are some helpful YouTube video demos to practice at home before going to this event on location. With YouTube videos, I usually first watch the entire demo to see the result and make notes of important points. Then, I start the video again and paint along. I like the convenience of YouTube demos that can be paused, and so I can paint and learn at my pace.


    I hope you enjoy practicing in advance and are excited about our topic – nocturnal watercolor painting in Plein Air!

    Jean-Francois Arnaud 4-Day Workshop


    Paint the Light, not the Details. 

    Let the Artist Emerge!


    June 23, 24, 25 & 26

    9 am - 4 pm

    Members $500, Non-Members $550


    Registration opens on Tuesday, March 25 @ noon.

    Join us for a four-day watercolor workshop with Jean-François Arnaud. He has developed a simplified and expressive approach to watercolor that is both effective and intuitive. His approach is based on a limited palette of four primary colors: royal blue, cadmium yellow, cadmium red, and indigo. This simplification of colors, inspired by his background in printing, helps to better understand color construction and achieve greater chromatic harmony. With just these four colors, you can paint almost anything.

    However, a successful painting is not just about color—strong drawing skills are essential. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Angoulême, he places great importance on the accuracy of lines and the structure of the subject. His teaching revolves around two main pillars: mastering a simplified yet effective technique and developing a keen eye for composition and expression.

    Students will be painting from images provided by the instructor. Students can use printed out images or they can work from a tablet or phone if they prefer.  There will be a one-hour lunch break each day. Lunch is on your own.  For those traveling from out of town, please contact us if you need accommodation recommendations and we will be happy to help!

    Daily Schedule:
     Day 1: The Method and the Importance of Values

    We will start by exploring my method: organizing the palette, breaking down colors, and structuring values. After a demonstration, you will create a small-format study to familiarize yourself with this approach. In the afternoon, we will work on a more developed composition, focusing on value perception—one of the foundations of Impressionist painting. Understanding values allows you to structure an image before even adding color.

    Day 2: Simplification and Composition
     In the morning, we will do a visual memory and gestural exercise to help loosen up your brushwork. Then, we will work on a subject in miniature before expanding it to a larger format. This exercise will introduce a key concept for plein air painting: simplification. Knowing how to refine a scene, prioritize elements, and decide what to emphasize is essential for painting with spontaneity. We will also cover how to compose a well-balanced and dynamic image, avoiding unnecessary details.

    Day 3 and 4 : Letting Go and Artistic Expression
     This final day will focus on finding your artistic voice and allowing your brushwork to flow freely, while still maintaining discipline in the process. I will guide you through this journey, helping you not just to become a painter, but to become an artist. Do you see the difference? This is precisely what the École des Beaux-Arts in France teaches: to develop individuality and artistic singularity


    Supply list:

    Support and Preparation Materials:

    - An inclined board, easel, or drawing board.

    - Masking tape, such as automotive or painter’s tape.

    - A 2B pencil.

    - A white eraser.

    - A water sprayer.

    - Absorbent paper or a cloth.

    - 100% cotton paper from your preferred brand. A large sheet can be used and cut to smaller sizes on-site.

    - Various brushes, some with natural bristles and others with synthetic bristles. 

    advisable to have a larger brush with natural bristles.

    Recommended Colors:

    - Royal blue from Sennelier (Highly recommended).

    - Cadmium Yellow from Winsor & Newton.

    -Cadmium Red from Winsor & Newton.

    - Indigo Blue from Sennelier (Highly recommended).

    - Neutral Tint from Sennelier.

    -Turquoise Blue from Winsor & Newton.

    - Cobalt Blue from Winsor & Newton.

    - Cobalt Green from Winsor & Newton.

    - Quinacridone Gold and Raw Sienna from Daniel Smith.

    - Phthalo Blue Red Shade from Daniel Smith.

    - Titanium White gouache (Highly recommended).

    Notes:

    These colors are recommendations; however, royal blue is crucial in my palette, so I strongly recommend students get it. Indigo blue and white are also important. The other colors have been carefully chosen to enhance the teaching experience, and it will be better if students can find these colors, but if not, we can manage just fine.

    Let me know if any adjustments are needed!


    Cancellation Policy for Major Workshops:

    Refunds must be requested in writing at least 3 weeks prior to the start of Workshop. A $100 administrative fee will be charged and reduced from the refund amount. If a refund is requested in writing later than 3 weeks prior to the start of Workshop, no refund will be given. However, if the seat is filled with another enrollment, the late refund request may be considered for refund, less the $100 administrative fee.

    Laura Mossman

    One Day Workshop

    Sunday, June 29

    12:00 - 5:00pm

    $100 Tuition/$90 Members 


    Discover the Joy of Fluid Art!

    Unleash your creativity and experience the mesmerizing world of fluid art in Paint Pouring for Beginners, a one-day workshop led by artist Laura Mossman. Whether you’ve never picked up a brush or you’re simply curious about paint pouring, this hands-on class is the perfect place to start.  All supplies are included in this workshop!

    In this beginner-friendly workshop, students will explore the dynamic and unpredictable nature of acrylic paint pouring. Laura will guide participants through the entire process — from mixing paints to create smooth, flowing results, to experimenting with different pouring techniques that produce stunning effects. No prior experience is necessary, just a willingness to play and experiment with paint and colors.

    This workshop offers more than just instruction — it’s a chance to relax, let go, and enjoy the creative process in a casual, supportive environment. Feel free to bring along snacks or drinks to keep you fueled as you learn.

    A word to the wise: paint pouring can get messy! Be sure to wear old clothes that you don’t mind decorating permanently with splashes of color. While acrylic paint washes off your skin, your clothes may become part of the masterpiece.

    Join us for an afternoon of artistic exploration and leave with your several one-of-a-kind creations. Spots are limited — sign up today and get ready to pour, swirl, and create!

    VIRTUAL: The Behavior of Color - Palette Mastery

    Jason M. Bentley

    July 1

    1:00-4:00pm Central Time

    $50 members/$60 non-members


    Level:  No Experience, Beginners and Intermediate Painters.

    Consider this a crash course! You can write books on color theory for artists, and there are plenty… But this class is designed to teach you how to control the dial of color change and intensity. Understanding the color wheel and how each of our pigments are positioned tells a lot about mixing behaviors. Ever get that muddy color you didn’t expect? You’ll get to know how it happened, and how to avoid it.

    Mixing the right color doesn’t have to be a mystery. With a bit of knowledge about certain pigments and their characteristics, we can develop an instinct for efficiently and accurately mixing color. In this workshop we’ll talk about the universality of primaries, and the warming, cooling, and neutralizing of hues. Most importantly, we’ll evaluate the role of tinting and shading while still maintaining richness of chroma… Or not… The point is we’re in control!

    This open and interactive course will spotlight my palette, work surface, and reference in real time, so you can directly see how I mix and apply paint. Questions are encouraged at any time. At the start of each day, special short demonstrations from any inquiries will be addressed, and then intermittently to describe the project process from start to finish.

    9:00 am - 12:00 pm

    $220 Tuition/$180 members


    Do you want to push your painting, define your style, and create a body of work that is cohesive and personal? This will be a student-driven class, with more of a coaching/critique vibe, helping each artist work towards a simple goal – to find their “path” whether it be realistic or abstract, portraits, landscapes, still-life based….. whatever it is that inspires you. This class is not a “how-to” class. We will discuss concepts, artistic principles, techniques, color schemes that will help each artist regardless of their style and subject and often paint together to learn a new technique. Ideally, we become a consistent group, whose input is varied and meaningful. The idea is that you will focus on a subject and approach to carry your ideas forward in a connected way. Work outside class is essential.

    Level: Intermediate, Advanced


    Supply List: 

    Please bring regular watercolor supplies, palette, brushes, paper, paper towels, pencil, eraser, sponges, water sprayer etc.

    Be prepared to paint outside of class, so that we can critique during class time and keep your painting goals on track.

    Safety Alert: Individuals attending this activity should be aware that they require the ability to safely descend stairs in an emergency.

    General Meeting and Demo 

    Sunday, July 6

    2:00 p.m. To 3:00 p.m.

    Demo Artist:  Les McDonald, Jr. – Capturing Nature in Watercolor

    Les McDonald, Jr. transforms fleeting moments in nature into timeless watercolor works. A lifelong Texan, Les grew up on the Gulf Coast in Port O’Connor, where his love of wildlife began. After earning a B.S. in Commercial Art from Sam Houston State, he spent nearly two decades in advertising before becoming a full-time artist in 1986.

    Les painted his first duck in sixth grade, inspired by a hunting trip—and he’s been painting waterfowl ever since. From Port Lavaca fairs to national wildlife shows, his art has gained widespread acclaim. He's traveled from Alaska to Argentina, always in search of new inspiration.

    His award-winning work has supported conservation causes for decades. Les was named Texas Ducks Unlimited Artist of the Year (2004–05), Waterfowl U.S.A. Artist of the Year multiple times, and featured as a sponsor print artist for several leading wildlife organizations.

    Today, Les’s paintings are showcased in galleries and major wildlife art shows across the country. His passion for nature and commitment to conservation continue to shape a celebrated artistic journey.

    Additional information regarding meeting location, etc. will be emailed to those who register before the event.

    This Plein Air event will focus on painting a lake and nature scenes.

    Join us for a morning of artistic inspiration at Sheldon Lake State Park, where the tranquility of nature provides the perfect backdrop for plein air painting. Surrounded by lush greenery, shimmering waters, and thriving wildlife, artists of all levels are invited to capture the beauty of this pristine environment on paper. From peaceful lake views to vibrant flora, every scene is a masterpiece waiting to be painted. Bring your paints, brushes, and creative spirit to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this serene park!

    Click the link for a suggested supply list:  Plein Air - Supply List.docx

    Below are some helpful YouTube video demos to practice at home before going to this event on location. With YouTube videos, I usually first watch the entire demo to see the result and make notes of important points. Then, I start the video again and paint along. I like the convenience of YouTube demos that can be paused, and so I can paint and learn at my pace.

    I hope you enjoy practicing in advance and are excited about our topic – a lake and nature scenes in Plein Air!

    VIRTUAL:  Changing Landscapes In Watercolor

    Jason M. Bentley

    Aug 5, 12, 19, and 26

    1:00 - 4:00pm

    $220 members/$180 non-members

    Levels:  Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Painters.


    Landscapes in watercolor can be painted delicately or boldly. All the natural elements, like distant rolling hills, soft horizons, or bright light contrasts to name a few, give much variety to explore.

    Transient weather patterns can also excitingly transform the land and sky in beautifully abstract ways.

    This course is divided into one technical exploration day, and 3 variable project days, where we will talk about moving pigment with a variety of tools such as gestural brush marks, folded paper edges, and even our fingers! With additional focus on the importance of what to paint first and how, as well as proper timing in our layers and strokes that make the biggest impact in transforming the atmosphere of the land. Familiar with J.M.W. Turner? We will draw inspiration from a few of his images as excellent examples of atmospheric study. It can be quite magical.

    This open and interactive course will spotlight my palette, work surface, and reference in real time, so you can directly see how I mix and apply paint. Questions are encouraged at any time. At the start of each day, special short demonstrations from any inquiries will be addressed, and then intermittently to describe the project process from start to finish.

    Jason is a contemporary realist painter with many 

    years' experience in watercolor. Please visit HERE to see more.

    Gouache has unique opaque qualities compared to watercolor, although their similarities allow for interchangeable use if you wish. Gouache is a forgiving medium, as what is put down on the surface of paper can be painted over, or worked into again for the desired result. So it’s an easy medium to learn from and have fun with.

    This course will be divided into one technique practice day, and 3 project days. Each designed to further your understanding of dynamics such as water to pigment ratios for varied opaqueness, fluidity, color mixing technique on paper and palette, and more. This just might become one of your favorite mediums!

    This open and interactive course will spotlight my palette, work surface, and reference in real time, so you can directly see how I mix and apply paint. Questions are encouraged at any time. At the start of each day, special short demonstrations from any inquiries will be addressed, and then intermittently to describe the project process from start to finish.

    Thursday MORNINGS

    9:00 am - 12:00 pm

    $220 Tuition/$180 members



    Do you want to push your painting, define your style, and create a body of work that is cohesive and personal? This will be a student-driven class, with more of a coaching/critique vibe, helping each artist work towards a simple goal – to find their “path” whether it be realistic or abstract, portraits, landscapes, still-life based….. whatever it is that inspires you. This class is not a “how-to” class. We will discuss concepts, artistic principles, techniques, color schemes that will help each artist regardless of their style and subject and often paint together to learn a new technique. Ideally, we become a consistent group, whose input is varied and meaningful. The idea is that you will focus on a subject and approach to carry your ideas forward in a connected way. Work outside class is essential.

    Level: Intermediate, Advanced


    Supply List: 

    Please bring regular watercolor supplies, palette, brushes, paper, paper towels, pencil, eraser, sponges, water sprayer etc.

    Be prepared to paint outside of class, so that we can critique during class time and keep your painting goals on track.

    Safety Alert: Individuals attending this activity should be aware that they require the ability to safely descend stairs in an emergency.

    A Different Approach to Painting the Nude

    Marie Schaer

    Four Tuesday Mornings

    August 19, 26, Sept 2, 9

    9 am - 12 pm

    $220 Tuition/$180 Members 


    Loosen up and trust your instincts. Paint the figure in bold non-naturalistic colors Taking inspiration from Rodin’s and O’keeffe’s watercolor sketches (She did go through a figurative period early in her career.) this course concentrates on painting the figure starting with a “mass gesture” rather than contour or construction lines. We will concentrate first on capturing the figure as a whole and then will add details to it.

    We will begin with lots of bold gesture studies in brush and ink, move from there to a full range of values in monochrome, then a limited 2 color palette and finally a limited 3 primary color palette plus black.

    To keep the cost down, we will be working from reference photos rather than a live model.

Continually challenging yourself to grow as an artist, this class aims to introduce students to the principles of composition and provide them with the necessary skills to analyze and critique artwork effectively.

    VIRTUAL: The Behavior of Color - Palette Mastery

    Jason M. Bentley

    Saturday, Aug 30

    9:00 am - 12:00 pm Central Time

    $50 members/$60 non-members


    Levels:  No Experience, Beginner and Intermediate Painters

    Consider this a crash course! You can write books on color theory for artists, and there are plenty… But this class is designed to teach you how to control the dial of color change and intensity. Understanding the color wheel and how each of our pigments are positioned tells a lot about mixing behaviors. Ever get that muddy color you didn’t expect? You’ll get to know how it happened, and how to avoid it.

    Mixing the right color doesn’t have to be a mystery. With a bit of knowledge about certain pigments and their characteristics, we can develop an instinct for efficiently and accurately mixing color. In this workshop we’ll talk about the universality of primaries, and the warming, cooling, and neutralizing of hues. Most importantly, we’ll evaluate the role of tinting and shading while still maintaining richness of chroma… Or not… The point is we’re in control!

    This open and interactive course will spotlight my palette, work surface, and reference in real time, so you can directly see how I mix and apply paint. Questions are encouraged at any time. At the start of each day, special short demonstrations from any inquiries will be addressed, and then intermittently to describe the project process from start to finish.

    Jason is a contemporary realist painter with many years' experience in watercolor. Please visit HERE to see samples of his work.

    Intro into Urban Sketching

    Richard Scruggs

    2-Day Workshop

    September 20 & 21

    9 am - 4 pm

    $195 Tuition/$175 Members 

    Jump into the exciting world of urban sketching! Whether you're on a vacation, a business trip, or just exploring your daily surroundings, this workshop is your ticket to connecting more deeply with the world around you.

    In two days, we'll embark on a journey together to capture the essence of what fascinates you about your surroundings. No need to stress over perfection – we’ll guide you on a path that celebrates your unique perspective.

    Our goal is to equip you with the skills and techniques to tell your personal story about the world you inhabit. This workshop embraces accuracy but doesn't tie you down to perfection, allowing you to convey the vibrant life of people and places you experience.

    Through engaging discussions, inspiring examples, live demonstrations, and hands-on activities, you'll gain the confidence to start "sketching in the wild." Weather permitting, we'll take our creativity outdoors, exploring the neighborhood around WAS-H through plein air exercises. Plus, you'll get an introduction to the Urban Sketching community, connecting you

     with like-minded artists and sketching opportunities from around the globe.

    This class is designed for all skill levels – whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, a painter, or a doodler. Richard, an experienced watercolor painter, will guide you through his process, which applies seamlessly to various mediums like pen and ink, watercolor, gouache, markers, graphite, tablets, or a simple ballpoint pen.

    Richard, with his watercolor expertise, has had his work showcased in juried shows, including the recent 47th annual International Watermedia Exhibition at WAS-H. Discover how his passion for urban sketching evolved from a quest to "see better" and improve his painting skills. Richard’s Sketching Galveston series was recently showcased in the January 2024 show at the Galveston Art League.  His sketchbook is now a constant companion on vacations, business trips, and local outings, showcasing the beauty of people and places.

    Join us for an informative, collaborative, and fun introduction to the captivating world of urban sketching. Let's unlock your creativity and tell your story through art!

    This class is designed with beginners in mind, but all are welcome to join. Participants will also earn five credits toward our Beginners Watercolor Academy program.


    Color is one of the most powerful tools in a painter’s toolbox. In this engaging and supportive class, you’ll explore the fundamentals of color theory and practical mixing techniques that will bring greater harmony, emotion, and depth to your watercolor paintings.

    We’ll cover key topics including:

    • Understanding the color wheel: primary, secondary, and tertiary colors

    • How to create neutrals, tints, and shades

    • The differences between warm and cool colors and how they affect mood

    • Techniques for mixing colors that work beautifully together

    • The psychology and emotional impact of color in art

    • The role of color value in creating strong compositions

    In addition to lively discussions and demonstrations, you’ll practice mixing a range of colors using round and flat brushes. Each student will receive individual support during class painting time, making this a hands-on, confidence-building experience.

    A Different Approach to Painting the Nude

    Marie Schaer

    Four Tuesday Mornings

    November 4, 11, 18 and 25

    9 am - 12 pm

    $220 Tuition/$180 Members 


    Loosen up and trust your instincts. Paint the figure in bold non-naturalistic colors Taking inspiration from Rodin’s and O’keeffe’s watercolor sketches (She did go through a figurative period early in her career.) this course concentrates on painting the figure starting with a “mass gesture” rather than contour or construction lines. We will concentrate first on capturing the figure as a whole and then will add details to it.

    We will begin with lots of bold gesture studies in brush and ink, move from there to a full range of values in monochrome, then a limited 2 color palette and finally a limited 3 primary color palette plus black.

    To keep the cost down, we will be working from reference photos rather than a live model.

We will work on multiple compositions to start that all share a common color scheme, add original collage materials and mark making and finish with fabulous paintings. Whether you are diving deep in pure abstraction or wanting to put a non-objective spin on your landscapes or still life work, join us for a fun filled weekend.

    Level: Beginner with experience, Intermediate, Advanced

    Student Supply List: 

    GESSOED Watercolor Paper (important for the process and collage – can even be gessoed over old paintings, use up that stack of rejects!!), matte medium, and any water based media (watercolor, acrylic, mixed media – crayons, water soluble pencils, stencils, mediums, collage papers if you have them - anything you fancy!), brushes and paper plates for palettes, brayers etc. We will bring supplies to share as well. If all you have is the gessoed paper and matte medium, we will get you to the finish line!!

    Saturday, February 21

    9:30 am- 3:30 pm

    $85 Regular Tuition

    $75 Member Tuition

    This class is designed with beginners in mind, but all are welcome to join. Participants will also earn five credits toward our Beginners Watercolor Academy program.

    Refine your watercolor skills in this class -- tie everything together that you've learn in our core classes—drawing, composition, color, texture, and technique. With step-by-step guidance, you’ll plan, sketch, and complete a finished watercolor painting that reflects your personal style and vision.

    Photos can often feel overwhelming—so many shapes, colors, and textures—but any subject can be broken down into manageable steps. In this class, you'll learn how to analyze your reference photo and translate it into a clear, structured painting plan. Whether you're working with a landscape, floral, or portrait—and whether your style is abstract, impressionistic, or realistic—you’ll gain techniques that empower you to paint with confidence.

    We’ll focus on creating unified, harmonious compositions with strong focal points. A guided exercise will help reinforce these concepts, giving you tools you can take back to your studio practice.

    What to Bring:

    • Your usual watercolor supplies

    • Pencil and watercolor paper (about 11" x 15", or quarter sheet)

    • One or two reference photos you love but feel unsure how to approach

    If time allows, we’ll review your reference photos together and discuss strategies for turning them into successful paintings.

    Safety Alert: Individuals attending this activity should be aware that they require the ability to safely descend stairs in an emergency.
