Upcoming Workshops, Classes and Shows with Jacqueline Newbold

Good Colorful Morning!  New Watercolor Classes - Online, Phoenix, Sitka, Oregon, and Local!
The sun is bright and the temperature is finally warming up a bit.  Did you know that I have taken up Pickle Ball.  Everyone asks, "What is Pickle Ball?"  Well it is a little bit like tennis and a little bit like ping pong.  The ball is much like a whiffle ball and it is a lot of fun!  That is what I have been doing for exercising my body.  For exercising my brain and my love for art, I have been planning some very fun and unique watercolor classes.  Here is what is coming up for 2017!

It's My Turn! Blog Hop #7

So exciting! This year I am offering a mix of subjects dear and near to my heart!  Did you know that before I became an artist, I went to college to get a degree in Botany?  Yes, I am a naturalist, botanist, bird watcher, wildlife gardener, flora and fauna expert!  Now I am so thrilled to offer you a mix of my two loves:  watercolor and nature!  This year for the 2017 Artful Gathering Online Art Retreat I am teaching a workshop - A NATURALIST'S WATERCOLOR JOURNAL.  

 

Session Two: July 16  -  August 26, 2017

Dive into the colorful world of nature with Jacqueline Newbold.  She will guide you step-by-step as you explore various ways to use watercolor paints and mixed-media to create a naturalist art journal.  Keeping a journal of your field notes, drawings, and paintings of the natural world will enrich your experiences with nature and help develop your skills as an artistic naturalist. 

Jacqueline shows how to capture the essence of the wonderful world of feathered and furry creatures with simplified, easy drawing methods, colorful painting techniques, and creative mixed-media embellishments.  This is great workshop for beginner to advance painters that want to improve their painting skills.

By the end of our hop, you will have a collection of words that collectively arrange into an inspirational phrase.

Our hop ends on May 1, 2017.

You will take this collection of words, see if you can organize them and then e-mail them to: info@artfulgathering.com
THREE winners will be selected at random from the group of participants that send all the words in the collection to us by the deadline. There will be one grand prize winner and two runner ups selected to win an e-gift card from our fabulous sponsor www.Jerrysartarama.com (see right column).
