A Two Day Live Virtual Workshop Event
With Professional Watercolor Artist and Instructor David J. Rogers
Scheduled for July 19th & 20th, 2025 from 10 am to 2:00 pm PT (both days)
Here's what we'll be covering in this upcoming
Watercolor Mastery Workshop
"Cafe de France"
Step Into the Light and Charm of a Parisian Street Café
There’s something timeless about a café morning in France. The soft clinking of cups, the dappled sunlight filtering through leafy trees, the murmur of conversation carried on the breeze. In this special Watercolor Mastery Workshop, you’ll bring that magic to life with your brush.
Join us for Cafe de France - a watercolor journey that captures not only architecture and atmosphere, but the rhythm and warmth of daily life.
This project is all about storytelling through light, contrast, and subtle detail. Together, we’ll explore how to suggest figures without over-defining them, how to balance shadow and sunlight for a truly dynamic composition, and how to evoke the character of a place using confident, expressive brushwork.
Whether you’re looking to refine your painting of figures, deepen your understanding of architectural shapes, or simply enjoy the challenge of capturing light in motion, this is a scene that has something for every artist.
Even if you’ve never painted a café scene before, you’ll be guided step by step with techniques that make the complex feel approachable. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created your own version of Cafe de France - a painting full of story, charm, and Parisian soul.
Seats are limited. Reserve your spot now and join us for an inspiring watercolor workshop.
Perfect for All Levels of Artists!
This workshop is designed for artists of every skill level. Whether you're a beginner just starting your watercolor journey or a seasoned painter looking to refine your craft, this workshop will provide both inspiration and valuable techniques.
You'll be guided step-by-step through the entire process, making it easy to follow along and create a beautiful finished painting you'll be proud of.
Here’s What You’ll Learn:
How to paint dappled sunlight and shadow to create atmosphere and depth
How to use masking fluid to preserve the light in your composition
Techniques for suggesting figures with minimal detail for a lively, natural scene
Capturing architectural elements without overworking the composition
How to use value and contrast to guide the viewer’s eye through the painting
How to balance warm and cool tones to evoke mood and time of day
Developing a Harmonious Color Palette: Use a limited number of pigments to unify the scene and guide the viewer’s eye.
Live Artist Q&A: Interact directly during the session and receive expert insight as you paint.
And so much more!
Then, we will apply everything we learn to a guided step-by-step demonstration of the painting shown above. As we go from step to step, we'll discuss the techniques and concepts we learned and how they directly relate to this painting. Since this will be a live, interactive, hands on experience, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions in real time and have them answered by the artist.
This two day event is going to help you to make a quantum leap in your watercolor painting abilities.
This is definitely a watercolor workshop you will not want to miss!

Cool Art Supplies! Future Workshops! Books and Courses! Original Artwork!
This will be our Watercolor Mastery Workshop Project Painting for this two day live/online workshop event on July 19th & 20th, 2025:
"Cafe de France"
In every Watercolor Mastery Workshop, we cover techniques and methods that are directly related to the final step-by-step watercolor painting exercise, but more importantly, what you'll be learning can be applied to all of your future paintings.
Here's what is also included in this Watercolor Mastery Workshop...
Preliminary Basic Techniques Bonus Video:
Once you sign up, you'll receive a link to a 1 hour video that will walk you through everything you need to know about all of the materials and basic techniques we'll be using in the 2 day workshop on July 19th & 20th. If you are a beginner, you'll be able to familiarize yourself with all of the techniques, tools, and concepts at your own pace with guided practice exercises that you can access as many times as you like before the workshop. This basics video will allow us to dedicate the full 4 hours to the live workshop each day.
*Introduction to tools and materials and setting up your painting area.
*How to set up your palette.
*How to activate and mix paint on your palette.
*Three values to paint any watercolor and how to create them.
*Introduction to various wash techniques.
*Glazing techniques that add luminosity to your work.
*Dropping in color for vibrant and energetic color mixing.
*How to use the dry-brush technique to add texture to your paintings.
High resolution digital reference downloads:
Finished painting reference download - You'll be able to use this high resolution image as a color reference and a map so you can see the direction we'll be heading with our finished painting.
Reference photographs - I'll show you how to use photographs as inspiration for paintings, and why a photograph is only a "jumping off point" for your creative imagination.
A complete list of all the materials we'll be using in this workshop, and where to find them.
Your workshop registration will be far enough in advance of the event that you can purchase your art supplies (if you need them) in plenty of time. One of the coolest things about watercolor is that you don't need much to get started. Much of what you'll need (besides paint, paper, and brush) you already have right there at home.

This is a live virtual two day Watercolor Mastery Workshop event "Cafe de France" scheduled for Sat. July 19th & 20th, 2025, from 10:am to 2:00pm Pacific time (both days). An event appropriate for artists of all skill levels.
Unlike other watercolor workshops, this one will be from the comfort of your home, no need to fly to my gallery in California and rent a hotel room. It will be completely interactive and you can ask as many questions as you like and I can answer them for you personally.
This live two day event (4 hours of instruction each day) will be packed with tons of valuable information plus you will also receive a digital file of the entire event so you can re-watch the Watercolor Mastery Workshop at your own pace, as many times as you like, and we are throwing in some exclusive free bonuses just for attending.
Oh, by the way, the price of this on-line event is much less than the price of a single live one-day workshop, how cool is that?
This virtual event will be similar to my live workshops here at the gallery, but packed with much more value, and they usually sell out within the first few days.
Every Watercolor Mastery Workshop is designed to give you a clear path to mastering the watercolor techniques I'll be teaching, meaning it will give you the confidence in your own abilities to be able to paint at your fullest potential as an artist.
You're going to get a lifetime of watercolor experience and knowledge boiled down into an easy to follow step-by-step, "learn by doing" plan of attack, so that you'll be able to learn much faster and will no longer have to waste your time trying to figure out the correct path.
Due to the Watercolor Mastery Workshop software, there are only a limited number of spots available - they won't last long. If you truly want to improve your watercolor painting skills, reserve your spot now! First come, first served!

Attn: All Watercolor Artists, (Your VIP invite)
From the Studio of David J. Rogers.
Re: How to solve all of your watercolor painting problems with the right instructor so you can feel what it is like to paint at your fullest potential.
Did you know that most beginner watercolor artists trying to learn on their own or from paint-a-long YouTube videos are going to fail miserably due to practicing the wrong techniques or wrong methods?
Did you know that 99% of all watercolor artists never maximize their full potential or experience the true joy that creativity has to offer and, as a result, they carry that regret like a 50-pound chain around their neck for the rest of their lives?
Here is the problem we face as watercolor artists in the digital age - we've become so bombarded with so much information that we don't know what to focus on. We know that there must be a process, but without knowing what it is we jump from one piece of information to the next, hoping it will magically all come together.
Which means you'll never get a chance to reach your fullest potential as a watercolor artist in the most simple and effective way, or be able to share with the rest of the world what you are truly capable of as an artist.
There is a solution. Now there is a break-through method of teaching watercolor painting. An accelerated learning process that will help you to unlock your potential in the most efficient and effective way possible. A process that I developed myself purely by accident.
Let me explain...
Most people don't know it, but I am a self-taught artist. Everything I know as an artist I learned over many years, and mostly by trial and error. I learned about fundamental art concepts as I created paintings, finding out what worked and what didn't work, and making many adjustments along the way.
Essentially I was learning by doing.
...and then I had a revelation.
What if I were able to teach that same method? Where folks could "learn by doing" the same way I did, but with guided instruction so that they could learn art fundamentals and painting techniques, and then apply them for immediate results? They would not only be gaining the knowledge, but also the needed confidence and belief in themselves to keep moving forward. The thing that keeps most people from even trying to paint with watercolors in the first place.
That is what makes this teaching method so unique and effective.
How do I know this method works?
Because I've been teaching students in my live watercolor workshops this unique approach to watercolor painting for years.
Folks who had never picked up a paintbrush in their lives were able to learn basic technique and immediately create beautiful paintings using what they had just learned. The confidence in their own abilities exploded! The result was that they learned faster than ever before, and continued coming back for more of the same kind of instruction. Basic fundamental art principles with painting exercises designed around those principles.
Now, you will be able to receive the same life changing watercolor instruction my live workshop students have received with my new virtual "Watercolor Mastery Workshops" (plus some new cutting edge material I am excited to share with you)!
