Upcoming Workshops

Michael Holter - Watercolor Impressionism, Landscapes and Cityscapes Zoom
April 23-25, 2024, All Skill Levels

My work is impressionistic. I like to represent people or places and allow the painting to evolve from the structure of what is recognizable. The challenge is to balance the care needed to make the representation interesting… and perhaps believable, with the freedom, looseness and painterly quality that makes painting so unique and expressive.

2024 Michael Holter - April 23-25, 2024 Workshop


 

Carolyn Lord - Plein Air Watercolor at the EBRP Botanical Garden - IN PERSON
May 17-19, 2024, All Skill Levels

The portability and vibrancy of watercolor makes it ideal for plein air painting! This three-day workshop will be held outdoors in Tilden Regional Park Botanic Garden in the hills east of Berkeley, CA.
