Join watercolor artist Angela Fehr for a destination workshop focused on growing your watercolor skills while exploring the landscapes and villages of Ireland. This six day workshop combines sightseeing and painting, as we explore Ireland; taking in the beauty of the natural landscape and historic sites in half-day tours, sketching en plein air on occasion, then returning to the studio to paint our impressions of what we've experienced through loose, intuitive painting focused on personal expression and heartfelt emotion. Through demonstrations and step-by-step tutorials, Angela's focus is not just in teaching technique, but in how to apply those techniques in good watercolor "decision making," developing your personal style and unique voice in this beautiful medium, growing skill while enjoying every step of the journey.

5 The emphasis of the painting workshop is to use watercolour as a tool for selfexpression, and while a skilled grasp of technique makes creative expression easier, even a beginning painter can learn to connect with their inner voice and create paintings that sing with an intensely personal spirit and flair.
