2025 watercolor painting workshop

Two Watercolor Painting Workshops in 2025

Acclaimed watercolorist Charley Jolly began painting 40 years ago. His passion for watercolor and love for his subjects have guided him to becoming a master at his craft and an excellent teacher.

These 6-hour workshops are designed to accommodate the needs of both beginner and intermediate watercolor painters, and can be taken either as a series or as individual classes. Charley's easy, humor-filled, low-key approach is perfect for kindling your own interest for painting. All supplies are provided, just bring your passion and willingness to learn!

Session 2

through windows and doors

Saturday, June 21 | 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

Windows and doors can open new worlds to us - and in painting, they can be excellent framing devices to highlight scenes of importance. Charley will teach this time-honored method of creating emphasis, as we learn to paint things that are important to each of us.

Words that travel

Saturday, October 18 | 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

Who has not been transported by book or poem? With Charley's support, we'll learn to include intangible ideas in our artwork. Words - like separation, mystery, or certainty - can be dynamically represented in our paintings if we embrace the adventure of art.
