    Jan 14, 21, 28 and Feb 4 & 11

    6:00 - 9:00pm

    $250 Regular Tuition

    $200 Members


    Take time to reflect on your artwork and analyze the feedback you receive from the instructor and peers.  This course will help you identify strengths and weaknesses in your paintings, and use this information to refine your technique and style. 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. 

    Through practical exercises, demos, and discussions, students will develop a critical eye to evaluate and provide constructive feedback on artwork. Class begins with a group critique setting on what the student is currently working on.  The class will then move to simple exercises as a warm- up. Experimenting and trying new things is key to progression in your process and style development as an artist  – it's an essential part of the creative process!  

    Please email the instructor: Katherinerodgersfineart@gmail.com with any questions.  Please bring your watercolor supplies or use this list as a guide.

    Find Your Path

    Carla Gauthier

    Thursday MORNINGS

    Jan 29, Feb 5, 12, & 19

    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.

    Watercolor Collage Expedition with Vie

    Vie Dunn-Harr

    Two-Day Workshop

    Saturday & Sunday

    February 7 & 8

    10:00 am - 6:00 pm

    $280 Regular Tuition

    $245 WAS-H Members Tuition


    Like an expedition, participants will immerse themselves into unfamiliar territory and embrace the challenge of creative discovery.  Vie will share her method of getting in touch with your inner artist when beginning a painting, and how to respond freely without boundaries or expectations.  Watercolor collage is a technique which offers an exhilarating way to trust the creative process and discover one's unique artistic expressions.  In this workshop, Vie will introduce movement and abstraction as the foundation of painting, incorporating rice and art papers to build rich layers of texture and depth.  Some participants may choose to superimpose subject matter, while others may choose to work solely in abstraction.  Through group demos and one-on-one guidance, Vie will support each participant's journey of exploration.  Learn more about Vie and her work at https://www.viedunn-harr.com/

    About the teacher:

    "My works are a reflection of all that I see and those I know. I have observed that a flower, like a woman, is a delicate creation.  Yet they each have strengths that enable them to prevail over adversity. --Vie Dunn-Harr

    Vie Dunn-Harr, Painter

    Born in San Antonio, Texas (USA) 1953. 

    Dunn-Harr found her artistic expression slowly, yet deliberately, and continues to explore the many possibilities in the arts.

    She derived much of her early experience from the traditional school of art and continues to embrace formalism while stepping out of bounds.  Her works are organic forms rooted in architectural elements.  The forms are sensuous and portray the force and fragility of nature. 

    Dunn-Harr considers herself a contemporary realist and has exhibited nationally and internationally.

    Kempner Park in Galveston




    Established in 1876 by a group of German businessmen, the park was originally known as the Galveston Garten Verein, translating to "garden club" in German. A centerpiece of Kempner Park is the Garten Verein Pavilion, an elaborate tiered octagonal dancing pavilion constructed in 1880. This historic structure has withstood significant events, including the devastating 1900 hurricane and a fire in the 1980s. It was restored in 1981 and further refurbished in 1998 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Harris and Eliza Kempner Fund. Kempner Park with surrounding areas is a charming and peaceful location that offers wonderful opportunities to study form, light, and composition. 

    Format of the event: We will paint from 11:00 am to 2:30 pm. (I suggest arriving earlier to set up). At about 2:30 pm we will gather to review our paintings and provide constructive feedback to each other. Those who would like to join for lunch will go to The Sunflower Bakery & Café (512 14th Street, Galveston, Texas 77550; phone: (409) 763-5500).

    Directions: I recommend using your navigator to direct you to Kempner Park, located at 2704 Avenue O, Galveston.

    Parking: free parking on nearby streets immediately adjacent to the park’s green space.

    Text or call (713) 557-7495 if any questions.

    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 – painting historic buildings in Plein Air!

    $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.

    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.

    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. 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.


    - Links to a video recording of each session will be provided, in case you miss a class or want to review the session(s). Links remain available for ​90 days.

    - Reference Photos used in class will be in the confirmation email.

    Thursday MORNINGS

    Three Week CLASS

    Feb 26, March 12, & 19

    9:00 am - 12:00 pm

    $180 Tuition/$150 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.

    Below are a few helpful YouTube video demos you can practice with at home before attending the event on location. I typically watch the full demonstration first to understand the process and take notes on key techniques. Then, I replay the video and paint along with it. One of the things I appreciate most about YouTube demos is the flexibility - they can be paused or rewound, allowing me to learn and paint at my own pace.

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

    Intro into Urban Sketching

    Richard Scruggs

    2-Day Workshop

    March 28 & 29

    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!

    Students will work from the photograph and drawing that I will provide.

    I will paint step-by-step and the students will paint each step along with me before I move onto the next step and so on.

    Thursday MORNINGS

    April 2, 16, 23, 30 (Skip April 9)

    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.

    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 – painting an open-air artwork in Plein Air!

    Karen Stopnicki



    Karen is a professional artist based in Houston, Texas. Her love of art began in childhood, when she spent countless hours drawing and even enrolled in adult painting classes while still in elementary school. She went on to study Fine Art and Design at the University of Texas at Austin before pursuing a career in advertising and database marketing for retailers.

    To balance the demands of her profession, Karen sought out art classes wherever she could, studying at the Glassell School of Art in Houston, The Art League of Houston, the Watercolor Art Society–Houston, the Eliot School in Boston, Massachusetts College of Art, and in workshops with nationally recognized artists. Over the years, she experimented with many approaches, but always returned to watercolor, captivated by its luminosity and expressive beauty.

    Inspired by nature—its organic forms, shifting colors, and ever-changing light—Karen finds watercolor uniquely suited to capture the radiance and subtlety of the natural world on paper.

    Beyond the studio, she enjoys traveling with her husband and teenage son, taking peaceful morning walks, and curling up with a good book alongside her beloved dog and cat.

    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 – painting boats in Plein Air!

    Easy Landscapes

    Thursday Morningss

    May 7, 14, 21, 28

    9:00 am - 12:00 pm

    $220 Tuition/$180 members


    With a minimum of drawing, landscapes will be explored with attention to atmospheric perspective, color harmony, value, and texture.


    This is a guided class — but individual expression is celebrated!

    STUDENT SUPPLY LIST:

    1.  The best paper you can afford (hopefully 100% cotton!!!) — minimum size 9x12”.

    2.  Masking tape and boards (if not working on a block.) …We will be completing two paintings each day. (Necessary: two different paper set-ups, as we will be working on pieces simultaneously.)

    3. Palette with large flat mixing surface -- old, white dinner plate works well too.

    4.  Mid-sized (#6-8) cheap, STIFF fan brush

    5.  Old toothbrush

    6.  Winsor & Newton Designer's Gouache, Permanent White

    7.  Masking tape

    8.  Exacto knife.

    9.  A couple of craggy NATURAL sea sponges

    10.  An artist notebook (or the back of old paintings) for exercises.  (Cotton not necessary for this item.)

    Nan Wright’s work is shaped by a lifelong habit of close looking. Her creative path began as a globe-trotting photographer, documenting everyday life across Asia, Europe, North Africa, and South America. That experience continues to inform her watercolor paintings, where light, texture, composition, and small visual surprises remain central concerns.

    Today, Nan works in watercolor, trading pixels for pigments while maintaining the same observational discipline developed behind the camera. She is drawn to moments that feel familiar yet slightly unexpected—places where structure meets looseness, and clarity gives way to atmosphere. Her approach balances control and spontaneity, allowing the medium’s inherent unpredictability to play an active role in the final image.

    Nan’s paintings have been featured annually on the Winter Park Art Trail and in Plein Air @ Altitude in Winter Park, Colorado, since their 2021 beginnings. She has also exhibited in Galveston, Steamboat, Avon, Breckenridge, and with Arts for Rural Texas in Fayetteville, and has received six invitations to the prestigious Bayou City Art Festival in Houston.  Nan was a recipient of the 2025 artist residence for "Westbound Art" on the California Zypher train.

    In addition to exhibiting her work, Nan teaches watercolor classes at the 600-member Watercolor Art Society of Houston, where she also volunteers her time.

    She is a member of the American Watercolor Society, National Watercolor Society, Watercolor Art Society–Houston, Outdoor Painters Society, Women in the Visual and Literary Arts, Women in Watercolor, and Fraser Valley Arts.

    Jan McNeil


    Jan McNeill has always loved watercolor but with a full time job and 2 children, there wasn’t much time left over!   She was able to begin her watercolor journey 25 years ago when her children became teenagers and she was able to start a weekly night class with Caroline Graham. 

    Jan has learned a lot from various workshops, teachers, art books, and magazines.  She learned that she does her best work on hot press paper with round brushes.

    Jan McNeil


    Jan McNeill has always loved watercolor but with a full time job and 2 children, there wasn’t much time left over!   She was able to begin her watercolor journey 25 years ago when her children became teenagers and she was able to start a weekly night class with Caroline Graham. 

    Jan has learned a lot from various workshops, teachers, art books, and magazines.  She learned that she does her best work on hot press paper with round brushes.

    Jan became actively involved with WAS-H after she retired.   She’s held a variety of board positions including President, Vice President, Gallery Director, and Publicity Director.  She currently is the Board Historian.

    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 – painting trees, lake, and nature scenes in Plein Air!

    Cheryl Evans


    Cheryl’s first classroom teaching experience was in a tree house overlooking the ditch on First Street and Craig in Pasadena, Texas. The six-year-old teacher taught her eager pupils how to draw a palm tree and a bunny, and her 40+-year art teaching career was launched. She went on to receive a BFA and MA and teach the wonders of art to students from ages 4 – 94, from kindergarten to college.

    She was named Texas Art Educator of the Year in 2012, an ELITE Signature member at WAS-H, and she is still enthusiastically sharing her love of art as a painting instructor. She teaches art teachers as a pre-service and workshop presenter throughout Texas, and has taught workshops at many art leagues throughout Texas. Her paintings are in collections here and abroad, and recently had a very successful one-woman show at the Tower Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her work ranges from landscape to portraiture to abstract. Presently she is the Educational Director at WAS-H and a producing watercolorist.

    She can still draw a mean palm tree.

    Each Wednesday we host an art gathering for Seniors.  This is a friendly and supportive group - all levels are welcome to join and there is no fee for this class however, online registration is required to participate.

    This Plein Air event will focus on a sculpture outdoors

    Additional information is emailed to those who register.


    Join us for an inspiring day of art and creativity at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Temple. The temple materials and sculptures were carved out of Italian marble and Turkish limestone by 3,000 craftsmen in India, and then shipped to Houston for building this magnificent mandir. It is composed of 33,000 pieces of marble and limestone that were fitted together in tongue-and-groove fashion like a three-dimensional puzzle. The entire structure, including the foundation, does not contain a single piece of iron or steel. The details in the columns and walls include carvings of deities, dancers, musicians, elephants, horses, flowers and geometrical designs. 

    This Plein Air event will focus on painting a sculpture in an outdoor setting.
