    Gouache Noir: Mastering Value & Drawing

    Arthur Deatly

    Wednesday Nights

    November 5, 12, 19 & 26

    6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

    Step into the dramatic world of Noir—where value, shadow, and light tell the story. In this four-week course, you’ll sharpen your drawing skills and explore gouache’s bold, opaque beauty to create artwork with striking depth and atmosphere.

    Through still life studies and guided exercises, Arthur will help you:
    See and simplify shapes for strong, balanced compositions
    Harness value to create mood and visual impact
    Use gouache to layer rich tones and luminous highlights

    Whether you’re new to gouache or refining your craft, this class will teach you to think—and paint—in light and shadow.

    No need to purchase lots of paint!  By using a limited number of colors, you will be able to achieve dramatic values with optimum impact.

    Gouache:  Winsor Newton & Holbein (has UV protection)

    Basic Palette (7 paints):  White, black, ultamarine blue, yellow light, red, raw umber, burnt sienna.

    Find Your Path

    Carla Gauthier

    Thursday MORNINGS

    Nov 6 & 20 and Dec 4 & 11

    9:00 am - 12:00 pm

    $220 Tuition/$180 members



    Do you want to push your painting, define your style, and create a body of work that is cohesive and personal? This will be a student-driven class, with more of a coaching/critique vibe, helping each artist work towards a simple goal – to find their “path” whether it be realistic or abstract, portraits, landscapes, still-life based….. whatever it is that inspires you. This class is not a “how-to” class. We will discuss concepts, artistic principles, techniques, color schemes that will help each artist regardless of their style and subject and often paint together to learn a new technique. Ideally, we become a consistent group, whose input is varied and meaningful. The idea is that you will focus on a subject and approach to carry your ideas forward in a connected way. Work outside class is essential.

    Level: Intermediate, Advanced


    Supply List

    Please bring regular watercolor supplies, palette, brushes, paper, paper towels, pencil, eraser, sponges, water sprayer etc.

    Be prepared to paint outside of class, so that we can critique during class time and keep your painting goals on track.

    Safety Alert: Individuals attending this activity should be aware that they require the ability to safely descend stairs in an emergency.

    6:00 - 9:00pm

    $310 Regular Tuition

    $250 Members


    Take time to reflect on your artwork and analyze the feedback you receive from the instructor and peers.  This course will help you identify strengths and weaknesses in your paintings, and use this information to refine your technique and style. Continually challenging yourself to grow as an artist, this class aims to introduce students to the principles of composition and provide them with the necessary skills to analyze and critique artwork effectively. 

    Through practical exercises, demos, and discussions, students will develop a critical eye to evaluate and provide constructive feedback on artwork. Class begins with a group critique setting on what the student is currently working on.  The class will then move to simple exercises as a warm- up. Experimenting and trying new things is key to progression in your process and style development as an artist  – it's an essential part of the creative process!  

    Please email the instructor: Katherinerodgersfineart@gmail.com with any questions.  Please bring your watercolor supplies or use this list as a guide.

    A Different Approach to Painting the Nude

    Marie Schaer

    Four Friday Afternoons

    November 7, 14, 21 and 28

    1 pm - 4 pm

    $220 Tuition/$180 Members 


    Loosen up and trust your instincts. Paint the figure in bold non-naturalistic colors Taking inspiration from Rodin’s and O’keeffe’s watercolor sketches (She did go through a figurative period early in her career.) this course concentrates on painting the figure starting with a “mass gesture” rather than contour or construction lines. We will concentrate first on capturing the figure as a whole and then will add details to it.

    We will begin with lots of bold gesture studies in brush and ink, move from there to a full range of values in monochrome, then a limited 2 color palette and finally a limited 3 primary color palette plus black.

    To keep the cost down, we will be working from reference photos rather than a live model.

    Larry Spitzberg

    In the Style of Nita Engle (Part 2)



    Here is Larry's masked sketch that you can use to prepare a sketch and mask before the class.  (Larry used masking tape cut with an "X-Acto" knife to mask the bridge and lower areas of the sketch.  He used frisket/masking fluid among the trees at the top.)

    Nita Engle was such a rebel, and her art style is daring and controversial but always fun to try.  We will try to emulate her experimental style of loose watercolor painting and have fun in the process.

     


    Larry has been an optometrist, inventor, and toy collector. Now retired he is a WAS-H Elite Signature member and an art history buff. The rebels of art history intrigue him the most. Never satisfied with one art style he looks to paint whatever style strikes his fancy.

    Acrylic Paint Pouring for Beginners

    Laura Mossman

    One Day Workshop

    Sunday, November 30

    12:00 - 5:00pm

    $100 Tuition/$90 Members 


    Unleash your creativity in Paint Pouring for Beginners, a one-day workshop led by artist Laura Mossman. Whether you’ve never picked up a brush or are simply curious about paint pouring, this hands-on class is the perfect place to start. All supplies are provided!

    In this workshop, we’ll focus on the bloom technique perfected by Australian artist Shelee Carruthers. Using untinted house paint, “This Little Piggy” pigments, Australian and U.S. Floetrol, Jo Sonja Gloss Varnish, and a variety of additives, you’ll learn how to create striking effects and textures.

    You’ll make your own pouring medium, mix pigments, and experiment with a cell activator to bring your creations to life.

    This beginner-friendly class guides you through the full process — from mixing paints for smooth, flowing results to exploring different pouring techniques that produce vibrant, dynamic patterns. No experience is necessary — just bring your curiosity and willingness to play with color!

    More than just a workshop, this is a chance to relax, experiment, and enjoy the creative process in a friendly, supportive environment. Feel free to bring snacks or drinks to keep you energized while you paint.

    A word to the wise: paint pouring can get messy! Be sure to wear old clothes that you don’t mind decorating permanently with splashes of color. While acrylic paint washes off your skin, your clothes may become part of the masterpiece.

    Join us for an afternoon of artistic exploration and leave with your several one-of-a-kind creations. Spots are limited — sign up today and get ready to pour, swirl, and create!

    VIRTUAL: Walking in the Sun

    Graham Berry

    Saturday

    December 6, 2025

    9:00 am -12:00 pm Central Time

    $50 members/$60 non-members


    In this workshop I will teach you how to simplify scenes and take the fear out of painting people, to see things as simple shapes and eliminate unnecessary detail. We will work with a limited palette and I will teach how to paint wet in wet, dry brush, and the importance of the water to pigment ratio. At the end of the class you will go home with a completed painting and the confidence to put people in your own paintings.

    My paintings are inspired by the effect of light and shadow on our environment, creating dynamic shapes and colours. I especially enjoy painting people going about their everyday lives, and I hope to inspire you to see future paintings everywhere you look.

    Links to a video recording of each session will be provided, should you miss a class or want to review a session. Links remain available for ​120 days.

    Below are a few helpful YouTube video demos you can practice with at home before attending the event on location. I typically watch the full demonstration first to understand the process and take notes on key techniques. Then, I replay the video and paint along with it. One of the things I appreciate most about YouTube demos is the flexibility - they can be paused or rewound, allowing me to learn and paint at my own pace.

    Rae Andrews 3-Day Workshop


    Watercolor with New Directions

    January 8, 9 & 10

    Thursday, Friday & Saturday

    Non-Members $445

    WAS-H Members $395 

    9 am - 4 pm


    Join Rae Andrews for a dynamic three-day workshop exploring expressive watercolor techniques, playful design, and bold use of color. Each day offers a different focus, giving students the chance to experiment, stretch their creativity, and develop stronger compositions.

    Day 1: Semi-Abstract Florals  Rae will guide students through creating vibrant, close-focus florals using her Wet-into-Wet approach. Lessons will highlight balance and imbalance, design, composition, and the role of light—all enhanced by Rae’s signature use of dramatic color and value contrasts.

    Day 2: Landscape Studies
    The focus shifts to landscapes, where Rae will demonstrate how to create depth and atmosphere while preserving the white of the paper—one of her hallmark techniques. Students will work on close-focus, dramatic scenes such as a garden gate, a bridge over a creek, or a sunlit veranda. Rae’s “painting in sections” method helps maintain light and freshness throughout the work.
    Tip: Avoid distant or panoramic references; choose images that bring the viewer into the scene. Please bring your own reference photos if you’d like—Rae will also provide options.

    Day 3: Creative Design
    The final session encourages imaginative exploration, using subjects such as shells, birds, florals, or landscapes reimagined through bold design choices. The emphasis will be on drama, subject isolation, and geometric frameworks to create strong, compelling compositions.

    To see the student supply list, click HERE.


    Instructor Bio
    Rae Andrews is a multi-award-winning artist known for her dramatic style and bold use of color. A teacher of watercolor and other mediums for over 50 years, Rae’s work is infused with energy and her love of expressive design.

    Born in Australia, she holds two art degrees from the University of Sydney. Rae founded and ran a 400-student art school in Sydney, later owned two art galleries in Maui, Hawaii, and now lives in Austin, Texas. She teaches online and leads workshops internationally.

    Frida: The Making of an Icon – A Day of Discovery and Creation

    Dr. Missy Gaido Allen and Katherine Rodgers

    One-Day Workshop

    Sunday, January 11

    10:00 am - 4 pm

    $75 Members/$85 Non-Members



    In anticipation of the upcoming Frida: The Making of an Icon exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, spend the morning with Dr. Missy Gaido Allen as she brings Frida Kahlo’s remarkable story to life in vivid, cinematic detail. Discover how Frida transformed pain into power—from the bus accident that shattered her spine (and sparked her artistic journey) to her struggle to be seen as more than “the wife” of Diego Rivera. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how Frida’s life, love, and loss shaped one of the most enduring artistic legacies of the 20th century.

    After a break for lunch, artist Katherine Rodgers will guide you in creating your own Frida-inspired artwork—drawing on symbolism, heightened emotion, and hidden meaning. Whether or not you include a self-portrait, you’ll craft a piece that tells your story in the spirit of Frida’s fearless expression.

    About the Presenters
    Dr. Missy Gaido Allen is an art historian and professor at Houston Community College. A native Houstonian, she studied Studio Art and Art History at Trinity University in San Antonio and at Trinity College in Rome. She also attended the MFAH Glassell School for photography, earned her M.A. in Art History from Rice University, and received her Ph.D. in Art History from the University of Iowa.

    Katherine Rodgers is a watercolor instructor at WAS-H and a member/owner of Archway Gallery in Montrose. An award-winning, self-taught artist, Katherine holds degrees in Human Ecology and Nursing from the University of Texas at Austin. Her artistic skill stems from years of teaching and a natural creative lineage. A Houston resident for the past three years, she has lived across the U.S., Europe, and the Caribbean—each place influencing her artistic journey.


    STUDENT SUPPLIES:  Bring your watercolor supplies, paints, palette, and paper. Recommend a piece of cold press paper, size 11 x 14 or

    16 x 20. Bring stencils if you have them already in your art supplies. If you would like to do a portrait of yourself, bring an 8 x 10 black and white photo copy. Email katherinerodgersfineart@gmail.com with any questions.

    Take time to reflect on your artwork and analyze the feedback you receive from the instructor and peers.  This course will help you identify strengths and weaknesses in your paintings, and use this information to refine your technique and style. Continually challenging yourself to grow as an artist, this class aims to introduce students to the principles of composition and provide them with the necessary skills to analyze and critique artwork effectively. 

    Through practical exercises, demos, and discussions, students will develop a critical eye to evaluate and provide constructive feedback on artwork. Class begins with a group critique setting on what the student is currently working on.  The class will then move to simple exercises as a warm- up. Experimenting and trying new things is key to progression in your process and style development as an artist  – it's an essential part of the creative process!

    Thursday MORNINGS

    Jan 29, Feb 5, 12, & 19

    9:00 am - 12:00 pm

    $220 Tuition/$180 members



    Do you want to push your painting, define your style, and create a body of work that is cohesive and personal? This will be a student-driven class, with more of a coaching/critique vibe, helping each artist work towards a simple goal – to find their “path” whether it be realistic or abstract, portraits, landscapes, still-life based….. whatever it is that inspires you. This class is not a “how-to” class. We will discuss concepts, artistic principles, techniques, color schemes that will help each artist regardless of their style and subject and often paint together to learn a new technique. Ideally, we become a consistent group, whose input is varied and meaningful. The idea is that you will focus on a subject and approach to carry your ideas forward in a connected way. Work outside class is essential.

    Level: Intermediate, Advanced


    Supply List

    Please bring regular watercolor supplies, palette, brushes, paper, paper towels, pencil, eraser, sponges, water sprayer etc.

    Be prepared to paint outside of class, so that we can critique during class time and keep your painting goals on track.

    Safety Alert: Individuals attending this activity should be aware that they require the ability to safely descend stairs in an emergency.

    Watercolor Collage Expedition with Vie

    $280 Regular Tuition

    $245 WAS-H Members Tuition


    Like an expedition, participants will immerse themselves into unfamiliar territory and embrace the challenge of creative discovery.  Vie will share her method of getting in touch with your inner artist when beginning a painting, and how to respond freely without boundaries or expectations.  Watercolor collage is a technique which offers an exhilarating way to trust the creative process and discover one's unique artistic expressions.  In this workshop, Vie will introduce movement and abstraction as the foundation of painting, incorporating rice and art papers to build rich layers of texture and depth.  Some participants may choose to superimpose subject matter, while others may choose to work solely in abstraction.  Through group demos and one-on-one guidance, Vie will support each participant's journey of exploration.  Learn more about Vie and her work at https://www.viedunn-harr.com/

    About the teacher:

    "My works are a reflection of all that I see and those I know. I have observed that a flower, like a woman, is a delicate creation.  Yet they each have strengths that enable them to prevail over adversity. --Vie Dunn-Harr

    Vie Dunn-Harr, Painter

    Born in San Antonio, Texas (USA) 1953. 

    Dunn-Harr found her artistic expression slowly, yet deliberately, and continues to explore the many possibilities in the arts.

    She derived much of her early experience from the traditional school of art and continues to embrace formalism while stepping out of bounds.  Her works are organic forms rooted in architectural elements.  The forms are sensuous and portray the force and fragility of nature. 

    Dunn-Harr considers herself a contemporary realist and has exhibited nationally and internationally.

    The Historic Strand District in Galveston


    This Plein Air event will focus on historic buildings.


    Additional information is emailed to those who register.

    Painting a timeless cityscape such as the Historic Strand District in Galveston allows capturing the charm and vibrancy of an iconic coastal landmark area. How to go about it? You might want to begin with sketching the district’s distinctive architecture, from ornate facades and vintage storefronts to wrought-iron balconies. Use light washes to build the sunny coastal atmosphere, layering warm tones for the buildings and cool blues for the sky and shadows. Incorporate details like bustling sidewalks, lampposts, and colorful awnings to bring the lively character of the scene to life. Watercolor’s fluid nature is ideal for portraying the interplay of light and shadow on historic structures and the vibrant energy of this timeless district.

    This Plein Air event will focus on painting historic buildings.

    Below are some helpful YouTube video demos to practice at home before going to this event on location. With YouTube videos, I usually first watch the entire demo to see the result and make notes of important points. Then, I start the video again and paint along. I like the convenience of YouTube demos that can be paused, and so I can paint and learn at my pace.

    I hope you enjoy practicing in advance and are excited about our topic – painting historic buildings in Plein Air!

    Bringing it all together!

    Carla Gauthier, Instructor

    Saturday, February 21

    9:30 am- 3:30 pm

    $85 Regular Tuition

    $75 Member Tuition

    This class is designed with beginners in mind, but all are welcome to join. Participants will also earn five credits toward our Beginners Watercolor Academy program.

    Refine your watercolor skills in this class -- tie everything together that you've learn in our core classes—drawing, composition, color, texture, and technique. With step-by-step guidance, you’ll plan, sketch, and complete a finished watercolor painting that reflects your personal style and vision.

    Photos can often feel overwhelming—so many shapes, colors, and textures—but any subject can be broken down into manageable steps. In this class, you'll learn how to analyze your reference photo and translate it into a clear, structured painting plan. Whether you're working with a landscape, floral, or portrait—and whether your style is abstract, impressionistic, or realistic—you’ll gain techniques that empower you to paint with confidence.

    We’ll focus on creating unified, harmonious compositions with strong focal points. A guided exercise will help reinforce these concepts, giving you tools you can take back to your studio practice.

    What to Bring:

    • Your usual watercolor supplies

    • Pencil and watercolor paper (about 11" x 15", or quarter sheet)

    • One or two reference photos you love but feel unsure how to approach

    If time allows, we’ll review your reference photos together and discuss strategies for turning them into successful paintings.

    Safety Alert: Individuals attending this activity should be aware that they require the ability to safely descend stairs in an emergency.

    Thursday MORNINGS

    Three Week CLASS

    Feb 26, March 12, & 19

    9:00 am - 12:00 pm

    $180 Tuition/$220 members



    Do you want to push your painting, define your style, and create a body of work that is cohesive and personal? This will be a student-driven class, with more of a coaching/critique vibe, helping each artist work towards a simple goal – to find their “path” whether it be realistic or abstract, portraits, landscapes, still-life based….. whatever it is that inspires you. This class is not a “how-to” class. We will discuss concepts, artistic principles, techniques, color schemes that will help each artist regardless of their style and subject and often paint together to learn a new technique. Ideally, we become a consistent group, whose input is varied and meaningful. The idea is that you will focus on a subject and approach to carry your ideas forward in a connected way. Work outside class is essential.

    Level: Intermediate, Advanced


    Supply List

    Please bring regular watercolor supplies, palette, brushes, paper, paper towels, pencil, eraser, sponges, water sprayer etc.

    Be prepared to paint outside of class, so that we can critique during class time and keep your painting goals on track.

    Safety Alert: Individuals attending this activity should be aware that they require the ability to safely descend stairs in an emergency.

    Below are a few helpful YouTube video demos you can practice with at home before attending the event on location. I typically watch the full demonstration first to understand the process and take notes on key techniques. Then, I replay the video and paint along with it. One of the things I appreciate most about YouTube demos is the flexibility - they can be paused or rewound, allowing me to learn and paint at my own pace.

    I hope you enjoy practicing in advance and are excited about our topic – nocturnal watercolor painting in Plein Air!

    Intro into Urban Sketching

    Richard Scruggs

    2-Day Workshop

    March 28 & 29

    9 am - 4 pm

    $195 Tuition/$175 Members 

    Jump into the exciting world of urban sketching! Whether you're on a vacation, a business trip, or just exploring your daily surroundings, this workshop is your ticket to connecting more deeply with the world around you.

    In two days, we'll embark on a journey together to capture the essence of what fascinates you about your surroundings. No need to stress over perfection – we’ll guide you on a path that celebrates your unique perspective.

    Our goal is to equip you with the skills and techniques to tell your personal story about the world you inhabit. This workshop embraces accuracy but doesn't tie you down to perfection, allowing you to convey the vibrant life of people and places you experience.

    Through engaging discussions, inspiring examples, live demonstrations, and hands-on activities, you'll gain the confidence to start "sketching in the wild." Weather permitting, we'll take our creativity outdoors, exploring the neighborhood around WAS-H through plein air exercises. Plus, you'll get an introduction to the Urban Sketching community, connecting you

     with like-minded artists and sketching opportunities from around the globe.

    This class is designed for all skill levels – whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, a painter, or a doodler. Richard, an experienced watercolor painter, will guide you through his process, which applies seamlessly to various mediums like pen and ink, watercolor, gouache, markers, graphite, tablets, or a simple ballpoint pen.

    Richard, with his watercolor expertise, has had his work showcased in juried shows, including the recent 47th annual International Watermedia Exhibition at WAS-H. Discover how his passion for urban sketching evolved from a quest to "see better" and improve his painting skills.

    Thursday MORNINGS

    April 2, 16, 23, 30 (Skip April 9)

    9:00 am - 12:00 pm

    $220 Tuition/$180 members



    Do you want to push your painting, define your style, and create a body of work that is cohesive and personal? This will be a student-driven class, with more of a coaching/critique vibe, helping each artist work towards a simple goal – to find their “path” whether it be realistic or abstract, portraits, landscapes, still-life based….. whatever it is that inspires you. This class is not a “how-to” class. We will discuss concepts, artistic principles, techniques, color schemes that will help each artist regardless of their style and subject and often paint together to learn a new technique. Ideally, we become a consistent group, whose input is varied and meaningful. The idea is that you will focus on a subject and approach to carry your ideas forward in a connected way. Work outside class is essential.

    Level: Intermediate, Advanced


    Supply List

    Please bring regular watercolor supplies, palette, brushes, paper, paper towels, pencil, eraser, sponges, water sprayer etc.

    Be prepared to paint outside of class, so that we can critique during class time and keep your painting goals on track.

    Safety Alert: Individuals attending this activity should be aware that they require the ability to safely descend stairs in an emergency.
