Join us for November’s Beyond the Brush Watercolor Workshop

Beyond the Brush! The Art of Spontaneous Watercolor Workshop with Pamela Harnois
Saturday, November 14, 2026
1pm-3pm EST (Eastern Standard Time)
This is for one 2 hour workshop.

Workshop Description

What happens when we let watercolor lead the way? In this one 2-hour workshop, we’ll explore the beautiful unpredictability of water and pigment. Working from the expressive forms of late autumn field flowers, we’ll discover how spontaneous washes, mingling colors, unexpected edges, and fluid marks can become the heart of a painting.

I’ll be giving specific demos on how I visualize combining elements to create a plan for painting using photo references. We’ll explore the balance between accident and intention, allowing spontaneous flows to develop while using selective shapes, lines, and contrasts to bring our paintings into focus.

Along the way, we’ll explore how to loosen up your brushwork, make confident marks, and allow a little spontaneity to guide the painting.

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.
