Workshop Report: Watercolor Landscapes & Still Life with Paul George

The first of four watermedia workshops during the month of July brought long time instructor Paul George to us for a long weekend workshop. Here’s a few things the students had to say about their experience;

The workshop was tremendously worthwhile; I felt Paul George’s approach was perfect – low-key, inspirational, and directed. The staff did a superb job of making us all feel welcome, and of course, the food was excellent! I only wish it could have gone on for another few days. Many thanks!

I loved the workshop with Paul George — he was engaging, hugely talented, kind, and clear. I left feeling as if I had really learned some very important perspectives and practical steps. I felt very inspired.

First, thank you for a lovely experience. In many ways it exceeded my expectations, particularly with respect to the bonding of the participants and instructor. I don’t know if that was particular to our group or just the way things go when you have like-minded people who are all gathered for a similar pursuit. The staff was kind and welcoming.

Way beyond expectations!! Excellent!.

I learned about ways to use value to bring dimensionality to my work, learned the importance of variety in my fabric stash, and learned the fun technique of fracturing to add an element of design to my work.

Instructor, meals, staff were all excellent!”
