    What a great way to create a memory! Discover a new way to depict your own travels. Be better prepared on your next adventure, be it a big trip or a simple journey to your local botanical garden, etc. Alternatively, paint from the comfort of your home, delve into your photos of a favorite past trip.

    For reference/practice, Susan will share photos of various trips to northern France to create a “pretend” journey. However, you can also use your own reference photos.

    By making your own *concertina (accordion) book, you will learn how easily you can depict a story line that gives joyful memories each time you revisit your sketchbook.

    VIRTUAL: The Monochromatic Portrait

    Jason Michael Bentley 

    2-day session (Tuesday & Thursday)

    Tues. Jan 20 & Thurs. Jan 22, 2026

    10:00 AM - 1:00 PM (Central Time)

    $90 members / $110 non-members

    Level: beginner / intermediate

    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.

      - Reference photo(s) in the confirmation email should be printed out or plan to use in class on a separate device before the workshop

          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.

          The Behavior of Color - Palette
          Mastery
          Jason Michael Bentley

          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.

          Watercolor Collage Expedition with Vie

          $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.

          Plein Air for Members

          Alla Adams, Coordinator

          Saturday, February 7

          11 am - 3 pm

          The Historic Strand District in Galveston


          This Plein Air event will focus on historic buildings.


          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!

          It's All About Color - For the Beginner

          Linda Vanek, Instructor

          Saturday, February 14

          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.


          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.

          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 – nature scenes and animals in Plein Air!

          Bringing it all together!

          Carla Gauthier, Instructor

          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.

          The workshop will focus on how to render this beautiful image of a swan causing ripples on the water and to capture those amazing splashes of bright sunlight reflected in the water!

          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.

          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

          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.

          Carla Gauthier

          Thursday Afternoons

          Three-Week Class

          Feb 26 & March 12 & 19

          1:00 pm - 4:00 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

          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!

          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!

          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.

          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!

          Art for Seniors IN PERSON

          Wednesday

          9:30 am - Noon

          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.

          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. 

          Students bring their own supplies - only water-media please.

          This weekly event is a community outreach to seniors 55+ only.

          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!

          Diann Zimmerman



          Diann Zimmerman’s journey into art began in 2018 after a traumatic brain injury left her searching for relief. What started as a way to ease physical pain soon became something much deeper—a source of healing, joy, and connection. Through art, she discovered not only comfort but a calling.

          Today, Diann is a thriving artist, educator, and founder of Watercolor – Beginners and Beyond, a vibrant Facebook group of over 335,000 artists from every corner of the globe. Her teachings—shared through Patreon and online challenges—are filled with warmth, encouragement, and a belief in fearless creativity.

          Her mission is simple yet powerful: to empower artists of all skill levels to explore their creativity with courage and kindness, building a global community where artistic growth is nurtured through compassion, inspiration, and shared knowledge.

          Her art—often playful, bold, and fearless—is a reflection of the optimism she brings to everything she does, from brushstroke to community leadership.

          Nan Wright


          Nan Wright began her creative journey as a globe-trotting photographer, capturing everyday life in Asia, Europe, North Africa, and South America. Today, she has traded pixels for pigments, bringing the same eye for light, texture, composition, and subtle quirk to her watercolor paintings.

          She has studied with renowned artists such as Karen Vance, Vlad Yeliseyev, and Brienne Brown, developing a distinctive and recognizable style. Her work has been juried into international watercolor exhibitions and has received numerous awards.

          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, Breckenridge, and with Arts for Rural Texas in Fayetteville, and has received six invitations to the prestigious Bayou City Art Festival in Houston.

          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, and Fraser Valley Arts.






          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.

          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 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. 

          Jan loves watercolor and the WAS-H organization!  She hopes that you also find it enjoyable and helpful in your own watercolor journey.

          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.

          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.
