    Thursday MORNINGS

    Nov 6 & 20 and Dec 4 & 11

    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 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.

      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!

      Rae Andrews 3-Day Workshop


      Watercolor with New Directions

      January 8, 9 & 10

      Thursday, Friday & Saturday

      Non-Members $445

      WAS-H Members $395 

      9 am - 4 pm


      Join Rae Andrews for a dynamic three-day workshop exploring expressive watercolor techniques, playful design, and bold use of color. Each day offers a different focus, giving students the chance to experiment, stretch their creativity, and develop stronger compositions.

      Day 1: Semi-Abstract Florals  Rae will guide students through creating vibrant, close-focus florals using her Wet-into-Wet approach. Lessons will highlight balance and imbalance, design, composition, and the role of light—all enhanced by Rae’s signature use of dramatic color and value contrasts.

      Day 2: Landscape Studies
      The focus shifts to landscapes, where Rae will demonstrate how to create depth and atmosphere while preserving the white of the paper—one of her hallmark techniques. Students will work on close-focus, dramatic scenes such as a garden gate, a bridge over a creek, or a sunlit veranda. Rae’s “painting in sections” method helps maintain light and freshness throughout the work.
      Tip: Avoid distant or panoramic references; choose images that bring the viewer into the scene. Please bring your own reference photos if you’d like—Rae will also provide options.

      Day 3: Creative Design
      The final session encourages imaginative exploration, using subjects such as shells, birds, florals, or landscapes reimagined through bold design choices. The emphasis will be on drama, subject isolation, and geometric frameworks to create strong, compelling compositions.

      To see the student supply list, click HERE.


      Instructor Bio
      Rae Andrews is a multi-award-winning artist known for her dramatic style and bold use of color. A teacher of watercolor and other mediums for over 50 years, Rae’s work is infused with energy and her love of expressive design.

      Frida: The Making of an Icon – A Day of Discovery and Creation

      Dr. Missy Gaido Allen and Katherine Rodgers

      One-Day Workshop

      Sunday, January 11

      10:00 am - 4 pm

      $75 Members/$85 Non-Members



      In anticipation of the upcoming Frida: The Making of an Icon exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, spend the morning with Dr. Missy Gaido Allen as she brings Frida Kahlo’s remarkable story to life in vivid, cinematic detail. Discover how Frida transformed pain into power—from the bus accident that shattered her spine (and sparked her artistic journey) to her struggle to be seen as more than “the wife” of Diego Rivera. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how Frida’s life, love, and loss shaped one of the most enduring artistic legacies of the 20th century.

      After a break for lunch, artist Katherine Rodgers will guide you in creating your own Frida-inspired artwork—drawing on symbolism, heightened emotion, and hidden meaning. Whether or not you include a self-portrait, you’ll craft a piece that tells your story in the spirit of Frida’s fearless expression.

      About the Presenters
      Dr. Missy Gaido Allen is an art historian and professor at Houston Community College. A native Houstonian, she studied Studio Art and Art History at Trinity University in San Antonio and at Trinity College in Rome. She also attended the MFAH Glassell School for photography, earned her M.A. in Art History from Rice University, and received her Ph.D. in Art History from the University of Iowa.

      Katherine Rodgers is a watercolor instructor at WAS-H and a member/owner of Archway Gallery in Montrose. An award-winning, self-taught artist, Katherine holds degrees in Human Ecology and Nursing from the University of Texas at Austin. Her artistic skill stems from years of teaching and a natural creative lineage. A Houston resident for the past three years, she has lived across the U.S., Europe, and the Caribbean—each place influencing her artistic journey.


      STUDENT SUPPLIES:  Bring your watercolor supplies, paints, palette, and paper. Recommend a piece of cold press paper, size 11 x 14 or

      16 x 20. Bring stencils if you have them already in your art supplies. If you would like to do a portrait of yourself, bring an 8 x 10 black and white photo copy. Email katherinerodgersfineart@gmail.com with any questions.

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!

      If you want to loosen up your landscapes and become more creative; this is the class for you.  The beginner to the advanced artist will equally obtain information that they can immediately start using to reach their goals.


      This is an acrylic/mixed media class that teaches you how to convert realistic photos into abstract landscapes. 


      You will take your photo refence of a landscape and convert it into an abstract rendering.  Once your design is worked out, you will begin to lay in the abstract shapes for the landscape.  You will be guided step by step with demos and one on one instruction.

      Single color paintings can be great practice for composition or subject studies, and pretty cool looking finished paintings in their own right! They help us more with what we need to know about modeling form by freeing us from multicolor complexities. And we are all the more ready to tackle the topic of color more effectively when we understand these changing values (light and dark relationships). This is an excellent class for those interested in starting portraiture but don’t yet have much experience!

      In this workshop we will sketch and paint a portrait using Payne’s Gray and no additional colors to describe the form. Recognizing value relationships over changing hue will be emphasized, along with drawing basic structure and proportions of the face and head for great results.

      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, if you miss a class or want to review a session. Links remain available for ​90 days.

            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.

            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.

            - Links to a video recording of each session will be provided, should you miss a class or want to review a session. Links remain available for ​90 days.

            - Reference photos will be in the confirmation email.

            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.

            The Historic Strand District in Galveston

            Additional information is emailed to those who register.

            Painting a timeless cityscape such as the Historic Strand District in Galveston allows capturing the charm and vibrancy of an iconic coastal landmark area. How to go about it? You might want to begin with sketching the district’s distinctive architecture, from ornate facades and vintage storefronts to wrought-iron balconies. Use light washes to build the sunny coastal atmosphere, layering warm tones for the buildings and cool blues for the sky and shadows. Incorporate details like bustling sidewalks, lampposts, and colorful awnings to bring the lively character of the scene to life. Watercolor’s fluid nature is ideal for portraying the interplay of light and shadow on historic structures and the vibrant energy of this timeless district.

            This Plein Air event will focus on painting historic buildings.

            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!

            • 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.

            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.

            Supply List: Download  HERE


            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.

            Three Week CLASS

            $180 Tuition/$220 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!

            $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!

            The workshop will focus on painting this amazing flower, being really bold with the colours on the petals, contrasting lots of sharp and soft edges, intense colours. The background is mainly soft focus but still a lot of fun to paint!

            I will share tips and my techniques on how to use watercolour media to capture the illusion of light and be bold with colour, using a limited palette!
            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.

            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.

            Join us for an inspiring day of art and creativity at Glenwood Cemetery, located at Washington Avenue overlooking Buffalo Bayou. Its iconic design was based on principles of garden cemeteries.  

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

            Click here to see the supply list for watercolor painting in Plein Air

            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!

            The workshop will focus on painting this sunny sidewalk in San Francisco, lots of detail but very loose, conveying movement and space on this hot and sunny day. Great fun to paint!

            I will share tips and my techniques on how to use watercolour media to capture the illusion of light and be bold with colour, using a limited palette!

            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.


            - Links to a video recording of each session will be provided, if you miss a class or want to review a session. Links remain available for 90 days.

            - Links to reference photos and drawings will be in your confirmation email.

            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.
