Portland, OR Spring 2026

In this workshop, Jacqueline will teach you various artistic ways to use watercolor paints with water-soluble and permanent inks to create several paintings of butterflies, birds, and flowers.  We will create loose and colorful watercolor paintings using Japanese paper.  It is the perfect substrate for embellishing by adding inks, acrylic paints, rubber stamps, and other creative mixed media objects.  After choosing your favorite painting, we will finish by adhering it to a wooden panel, creating a finished watercolor and mixed media painting that can be mounted and showcased on the wall!  All levels are welcome.
