Join our 2-Part September Watercolor Workshops

Wildflower Gestures 2-Part Watercolor Workshops with Pamela Harnois
Saturdays, September 19 and 26, 2026
1pm-3pm EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)*

Workshop Description

Explore the expressive energy of wildflowers through brushstrokes, luminous color, and dramatic tonal contrast. We’ll balance loose petals with gestural stems and foliage, allowing spontaneity and intuition to guide the composition. Discover how a few intentional marks can create movement, rhythm, and a painting that feels beautifully alive.

This workshop is an invitation to paint with freedom, trust your artistic instincts, and discover how powerful watercolor can become when feeling and gesture guide the process. You’ll leave with new techniques, renewed inspiration, and a painting that feels deeply personal, vibrant, and entirely your own.

Part 1 - The Elements, Sat, Sept 19: Spontaneous flow, colorful layers, tonal contrasts, color mixes in Part 1 only

Part 2 - The Mindset, Sat, Sept 26: Mixing high, balancing petals, stems and leaves, project piece

Pamela Harnois, watercolor artist

In my Norfolk, Connecticut studio

In Pamela’s watercolors, one discovers a delicate balance of lightness and fluidity, showcasing a style that is uniquely her own. Each brushstroke exudes a spontaneous flow, as she allows the paints to dance freely across the paper, seamlessly blending colors and contrasts. Observers are immediately captivated by the interplay between light and dark, as well as the juxtaposition of proportions and dimensions within her compositions. The ability to capture the very essence of her subjects reflects not only her formal training—a BFA in Watercolor from the University of Massachusetts Amherst—but also her innate talent for intuitive brushwork, cultivated through years of practice and exploration. In her work, she not only captures moments but also evokes emotions, inviting viewers into a world where every brushstroke tells a story. For more info, click here.
