2024 Watercolor Painting
Three workshops in 2024
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!
