Seasonal Watercolour Workshops
Come and escape into a seasonal world of colour and creativity inspired by the picturesque views of the Cowichan River estuary and Mt. Tzouhalem. Jennifer Lawson’s watercolor painting workshops are truly a masterclass of this versatile artistic medium for artists of any level, from beginner to experienced.
Discover many experimental ways of painting, from initial concept and sketching on-site, through to completion of your unique project. These intimate groups allow for you to benefit from one-on-one instruction as required, so you can discover and uncover the artist within.
More than just a workshop, this creative two-day retreat is where you will savour organic gourmet lunches and have all needed supplies thoughtfully included. Classes are held outdoors (weather permitting) at Jennifer’s 150-year-old log home and studio, the oldest house in the Cowichan Valley. Bring an open heart and a warm sweater; leave with a new skill.

Reviews
Here are some reviews from past participants:
“It was a lovely class on a beautiful weekend ( the last of summer, I think ) in your peaceful, picturesque garden ~ a memory I will treasure. Spending time with you, getting to know you better, and leaving inspired was wonderful. Above all, my goal was to get painting again, and I feel that I will do that now. It was such a friendly, easy group ~ sheer pleasure. And again, thank you for your care and encouragement.”

“I want to thank you so much for sharing your gift with us. I considered it a privilege to have had the opportunity to learn from you – there is so much to take in, but you made it very enjoyable as well as informative. It was much like what I expected, having only met you once – but I thought it would be a very relaxed atmosphere for a first taste of painting. You are very patient & a relaxed & gracious host. I am so excited to have finally begun this adventure and look forward to exploring & learning more.”

“Thank you for a very instructive and successful three days of your watercolour workshop! Having taken several drawing courses and one other watercolour course, I felt that your practical and relaxed teaching technique was helpful for really solidifying many concepts and opening up new ideas. Thanks for opening up your home and making us feel so very welcome! Best regards.”
