Watercolor Painting for Beginners

Three workshops in 2023

Acclaimed watercolorist Charley Jolly began painting 40 years ago, with no experience. His passion for watercolor and love for his subjects have since guided him to becoming a master at his craft.

These three 6-hour workshops are designed for beginners, and can be taken as a series or as individual classes. Charley's easy, low-key approach is perfect for kindling your own passion for painting. All supplies are provided - all you need to bring is your interest!

Watercolor Painting

Simple Structures

Saturday, April 1 | 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

This study investigates the wonderful graphic power of a simple structure. The topic addresses basic drawing and composition along with the emotive power of simple structures. And, what better place to study this topic than Shaker Village?

Kentucky Landscape

Saturday, June 24 | 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Techniques for Texture

Saturday, September 30 | 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

This study outlines the influence of texture on a finished work. Texture can be detailed or implied. Charley will demonstrate how to paint both, but just as importantly, he will demonstrate how each technique can be employed to enhance a completed watercolor work.
