    VIRTUAL: Watercolor - Mastering the Color Palette

    Jason Michael Bentley

    Sunday afternoon

    April 21

    1:30 - 5:30pm

    $65 members/$75 non-members

    Getting the right color doesn’t have to be a bundle of trial and error. With a bit of knowledge about pigments and their characteristics, we can develop an instinct for efficiently and accurately mixing color. There will be focus on the important and universal role of mixtures formed from primaries, with evaluation on how other tube colors relate in the spectrum. We will explore the warming, cooling, and neutralizing of hues, as well as tinting and shading techniques that maintain richness of chroma... Or not... The point is we’re in control! This open and interactive course will spotlight the instructor’s palette, work surface, and reference in real time, so you can directly see exactly how he mixes and applies paint. The process will be step by step based with short demos so you can take time to follow along and ask questions all the way to the finished painting.

    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 

    ​120 days.

    A final written critique is offered through Padlet following the completion of the workshop.

    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 opportunities for improvement in your paintings.  You will 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 still life composition and provide them with the necessary skills to analyze and critique their work effectively.  


    Through practical exercises, demos, and discussions, students will learn how to observe and depict objects in a still life setting, as well as 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 using a still life set up in the classroom. We will focus on arranging and setting up still life compositions to create visually interesting and meaningful scenes, as well as, exploring the use of props, backgrounds, and the use of negative space. Students will be encouraged to experiment and try new things as they progress in their development as an artist.


    Prerequisite: An introduction to watercolor course must be taken prior to registering. This course is intended for the independent painter who has a good grasp on all basic watercolor and painting techniques.

    SKETCH OUT with Houston Urban Sketchers

    Richard Skruggs, Facilitator

    Saturday, May 4

    10:30 am - 12:45 pm

    Meet at the Menil Museum Grounds

    Free event


    Let’s celebrate! The Watercolor Art Society – Houston and the Houston chapter of Urban Sketchers are teaming up to commemorate International Urban Sketch Week with a Sketch Out at the Menil Museum. Sketchers of all levels are welcome to immerse themselves in the joy of capturing life's moments one drawing at a time.

    Starting with a meet-up on the Museum grounds, participants will embark on a creative journey. Following a quick introduction, sketchers can roam freely, seeking inspiration within the museum's grounds and inside exhibits. For those seeking guidance, Richard Scruggs will lead a discussion and demonstration on crafting narratives, staking out a composition, and initiating the foundational sketch. Whether joining the discussion or not, everyone will have approximately two hours to weave their visual tales. Later, we'll regroup for a USK throwdown, where we'll proudly showcase our creations, divulge our techniques, and unveil the stories behind our sketches.

    Following the artistic escapade, all are welcome to unwind at a nearby restaurant for lunch and conversation about art, techniques, and a friendly exchange of sketchbooks.

    Here you will find a list of materials to bring with you.

    VIRTUAL: Watercolor - Lively Animals

    Jason Michael Bentley

    Saturday & Sunday afternoons

    May 11 & 12

    1:30 - 5:30pm

    $120 members/$140 non-members


    The sky is the limit when it comes to painting animals! Few subjects offer the variety and dynamics that are possible with a lovely beast and the environment in which they are found. If you want to paint an otter, you will likely learn how to paint the appearance of flowing water and wet fur. If you want to paint a bird in the sky, you will also learn how to paint clouds and the gesture of flight. It’s a perfect blend of personality and the elements coming together. In this two-session workshop, Jason will lead you through the completion of two animal paintings - please see below for references supplied by the artist. Before starting each painting on a separate study sheet, we will practice the unique gesture drawing, brush techniques, and color mixes appropriate to capture the most character of each. Then we will apply our preparations to make the final beautiful painting. And with the applications learned here, there’s no doubt you can go and continue to paint what more you love!

    This open and interactive course will spotlight the instructor’s palette, work surface, and reference in real time, so you can directly see exactly how he mixes and applies paint. The process will be step by step based with short demos so you can take time to follow along and ask questions all the way to the finished painting.

    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 120 days.

    A final written critique is offered through Padlet following the completion of the workshop.

    Looking forward to seeing you there!

    Urban Sketching:

    Just Jump In!  

    Richard Scruggs

    Three Tuesday evenings

    May 14, 21, & 28

    6 pm - 9 pm

    $180 Tuition/$150 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 three evenings, 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!

    In this workshop I will teach you how to simplify scenes and take the fear out of painting people,     to see things as simple shapes and eliminate unnecessary detail. We will work with a limited palette and I will teach how to paint wet in wet, dry brush, and the importance of the water to pigment ratio. At the end of the class you will go home with a completed painting and the confidence to put people in your own paintings.


    My paintings are inspired by the effect of light and shadow on our environment, creating dynamic shapes and colours. I especially enjoy painting people going about their everyday lives, and I hope to inspire you to see future paintings everywhere you look.


    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 ​120 days.

    Has a scene in nature ever taken your breath away? I’m lucky to live in one of the world's most beautiful places. And this time of year offers a variety of moods, with changing weather patterns that transform the land and sky. Let me bring you to the Scottish Highlands on a virtual tour. To get us in the grove and feel inspired to paint, I’ll show you pictures and short videos that will make you feel like you’re here with me! In this two-session workshop, we will talk about color character, and moving pigment in a way that transforms the atmosphere of the land. Each day will be on the concentration of a new landscape with a unique character.


    This open and interactive course will spotlight the instructor’s palette, work surface, and reference in real time, so you can directly see exactly how he mixes and applies paint. The process will be step by step based with short demos so you can take time to follow along and ask questions all the way to the finished painting.

    There’s nothing like a great hill country river scene. The movement of the water gives this scene character as well as action. It is the key to this landscape panorama. Painting the rocks against the river creates a sharp contrast for your painting. Leaving light on the limestone is a primary objective. You will also learn how to use perspective in this scene with a strong vanishing point.

    $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 that will help each artist regardless of their style and subject, and do demos that are spontaneous, responding to student problems and needs. 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: 
    Regular Watercolor supplies – paper towels, palette, paints, brushes and the best paper you can afford.

    When you think of painting, don’t just assume you need a brush, paper and paint. Did you know you can use tools found in your own yard or garden to paint a beautiful watercolor?  Join Susan Giannantonio as she uncovers some secrets to creating plant textures and marks. She will demonstrate techniques to playfully render a bright and beautiful painting.  When you try it yourself, it will surprise you to discover how easy and fun it is!

    Important!

    Plant material should be put into a hardbound large book (the library always has good oversized books on their sale shelf). Harvest the plants

     while green, put them into book before they begin to dry or curl and do not remove them from the book until you receive instructions during class.

    What plants? Bring leaves with large veins on the back (think geranium leaves, etc.)

    We will examine the fundamentals of watercolor painting to assure that all students are familiar with the techniques. Daily discussions and application of the principles and elements of design will be woven into your painting experience.

    Each day you will engage in exercises that will solidify the content that you are working on and spend time viewing other artists work. We will discuss the methods and the impact that these artists achieve using their techniques.

    We will start with landscapes and progress to more complicated subjects and will include some figurative work.

    Michael will demonstrate his approach to creating his paintings and will show you several high-speed video demonstrations.

    And you will have ample time to successfully complete your own paintings.

    Chinese Brush Painting -

    Birds of Texas

    Peihong Endris

    Four Thursday afternoons

    July 11, 18, 25, and Aug 1

    1:00 - 4:00pm

    $220 Tuition/$180 members





    Birds give life to a painting of a rather static branch, or tree, and can, therefore, be painted in quiet, indistinct way. Alternatively, the bird can form the main element of the painting and, as such, will be required to demonstrate rather more of its own character.

    In this class, you will learn to use the basic brush techniques to paint the Birds of Texas (Goldfinch, Bluebirds, Warbler…), or you can bring pictures of your favorite birds and instructor will teach you to use minimum brushstrokes to express it.
