Outdoor Watercolor Sketchbook (1SU26)

Join the waitlist August 25–29, 2026 1 week, Tuesday–Saturday Taught by: Laurence E. Keefe Sketchbooks are crucial tools for serious artists. Participants in this week-long workshop learn to use a small sketchbook to explore their personal vision and develop ideas for their own paintings. Working in an informal outdoor setting and using pen and watercolor washes with a group of fellow artists, you will receive individual support from a skilled instructor. Each day, we meet at a scenic local venue and start by explaining one aspect of watercolor painting, such as washes, using value, etc., then you pick the subject that stimulates your creativity. Lots of social support, ideas, suggestions, and help are available. You will leave with a collection of images that you can later develop into paintings that express your vision.
