Workshops

I offer watercolor, drawing, and sketchbook classes for adults, children and teens in addition to monthly sketchbook field trips and wine & watercolor parties throughout the Seattle area. I also offer international workshops and tours as well. Some focused on sketching, others focused on art history, food, wine, wellness and the good life. Come join me!

For more information just scroll down this page or email me directly.

Lessons are designed to help students gain confidence and experience with developing watercolor and drawing skills and encourage a sketchbook habit. Lessons are tailored to the age, skill level, and goals of each student.

I believe that through art and play adults and children alike are able to understand their world and to establish connections to different areas in their life. Through art we are better able to understand and appreciate the world around us. I am passionate about my own work as an artist and I bring that enthusiasm to my teaching.

Student testimonials

When I returned home yesterday, I told my husband that your class was the best one I have ever taken. I am very excited. It actually gave me goosebumps! ~ Susan Cook

Knowing we have to grow into the curve of learning and improving is why I keep coming back. I love your class and more importantly I love the way you teach. You are not judgmental, you care and we are fortunate to have you each week. Thank you, Char. ~ Marilyn Scanlon

May 10 Sketchbook Field Trip

$20.00

The May sketchbook field trip is Saturday May 10 10:30am - 12:30pm.

We will sketch at Bothell Landing Park.

Bothell Landing Park
9919 NE 180 St,
Bothell, WA 98011

Set along the Sammamish River, this park has a historical museum, amphitheater, play areas & paths. It also has a dog park, picnic tables, and great views.

There is a small parking lot by the playground / restrooms. Let’s meet in this area. This beautiful park along the Sammamish River is home to several historic buildings, including a log cabin from the late 1800s, a schoolhouse and a Victorian-era residence that is now home of the Bothell Historical Museum. There is also a lovely bridge, lots of paths and nature. So much beauty to sketch!

Learn how to get in the habit of sketching your world. Keeping a written and visual journal of one’s life is an enriching practice of self- expression. Some field trips will include lessons and demos and sometimes we will meet at a location and just dive into sketching. Each field trip ends with a “show & tell” session where we can all share our sketches.

All skill levels welcome.

Once a month I schedule a sketchbook field trip. Email me to be placed on my “Sketchbook Club” list and each month I will email you the date, time and location for that month’s field trip. Registration is $20/field trip.
