Watercolor Gatherings and Workshops
Unlock Your Inner Artist: A 3-Hour Beginners’ Watercolor Gathering
Discover the joy of painting in a relaxed, encouraging environment—no prior experience needed!
I have been running these gatherings (watercolor workshops) since the early 2000’s! These intimate watercolor gatherings are built on the simple belief: given the right tools and foundational techniques, everyone can create something beautiful. Furthermore, over the course of 2.5 to 3 hours, you will learn the most essential watercolor methods step-by-step. Additionally, you will walk away with your very own completed miniature painting to take home.
Workshop Details:
- Duration: 2.5 – 3 hours
- Group Size: Small, interactive groups (up to 10 participants)
- Supplies: All high-quality materials are fully provided
- Locations: Hosted at various local venues, or brought directly to your home/property
Specifically, if you want to join an upcoming scheduled gathering or host a private workshop on your own property, space is limited to keep the experience personal.

Watercolor in the Woods
Watercolor in the Woods with Jane: A Nature & Creative Retreat
Escape the daily noise and spend a full day or weekend immersing yourself in the restorative “Zen” of nature and watercolor painting.
Guided by Jane, this immersive workshop bridges creative expression with the beauty of the outdoors. You will spend the morning exploring local trails, observing nature, and capturing inspiration in your sketchbook. After that a relaxing lunch break, you’ll translate your sketches into a larger, finished watercolor painting to take home. No prior painting experience is required—just a willingness to unwind and create.

- Exclusive Gift Set: Your own watercolor sketchbook, portable paint set, and brush to keep.
- Full Materials: All additional studio supplies, paper, and equipment needed for the day.
- Guided Instruction: Step-by-step guidance on observational sketching and core watercolor techniques.

- A filled water bottle and packed lunch
- Weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy walking shoes
Registration & Inquiries: Spaces are kept limited to preserve a quiet, personal atmosphere. To reserve your spot or inquire about upcoming weekend dates, email Jane directly at jane@janemayjones.com.
