A Two Day Live Virtual Workshop Event
With Professional Watercolor Artist and Instructor David J. Rogers

Here's what we'll be covering in this upcoming
Watercolor Mastery Workshop

"Christmas Cards - 2026"

Paint the Joy of Christmas and Share It with Those You Love
There’s something special about opening a Christmas card and discovering that someone painted it just for you. It carries more than a holiday greeting - it carries a little piece of the artist’s heart. This Christmas, imagine sharing that feeling with the people you love through cards you’ve created yourself.

Join me for a festive two-day Watercolor Mastery Workshop where we’ll paint three Christmas card projects together: a glowing candle surrounded by evergreens and berries, a charming snow-covered Christmas village, and a cheerful little bird celebrating the joy of the season. Each painting offers its own opportunity to explore color, light, and the magic of watercolor.

Whether you create an original card for someone special or make copies to share with family and friends, you’ll be giving a gift that’s personal, meaningful, and unmistakably yours. So gather your brushes, settle in, and let’s celebrate the season together - one joyful painting at a time!

Perfect for All Levels of Artists!
This is a workshop that has been carefully 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 patiently step-by-step through the entire process, making it easy to follow along and create a beautiful finished painting you'll be proud of.

In this workshop you’ll discover:

* Three festive project paintings to share as Christmas cards or enjoy as seasonal artwork.
* Techniques for creating the warm glow of candlelight with watercolor.
* A closer look at painting evergreens, pinecones, and bright holiday berries.
* Tips for bringing a snow-covered village to life with color, light, and shadow.
* Ideas for painting a cheerful little bird with loose, expressive brushstrokes.
* Practice creating depth and dimension in small, charming compositions.
* Inspiration for adding your own creative touches to each design.
* The joy of creating personal Christmas greetings to share with the people you love.

And so much more!

Then, we will apply everything we learn to a guided step-by-step demonstration of the three paintings 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!

These will be our Watercolor Mastery Workshop Project Paintings for this two day workshop event on Nov 7th & 8th, 2026:

"Christmas Cards - 2026"

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 Nov 7th & 8th. 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 8 hours to the live workshop.

Here are some of the things we'll cover in the 1 hour preliminary basic techniques bonus video:

*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.
*The three values used 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 guide 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 really 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.

A full recording of the Watercolor Mastery Workshop.
You'll also be receiving a full recording of the live workshop so that you can replay any areas you may need to focus on. You'll also have future access to this workshop so you can come back to it again and follow along at your own pace.

As well as bonuses just for attending!
This is a live virtual two day Watercolor Mastery Workshop event "Christmas Cards - 2026" scheduled for Saturday & Sunday,  Nov 7th & 8th, 2026, 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 (eight full hours of instruction) 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, btw... 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.

See What Other People are Saying About Watercolor Mastery Workshops...

  • Sharon S. -  I thoroughly enjoyed the class today. It was the perfect way to start back again to paint. The hours just flew by! I have been studying watercolor and taking classes for the past 40 years, I’ve learned so much more from just one morning with you! Thank you again for your teaching style. I greatly appreciate it. 
  • Peggy J. -  David, the class was exceptional and very informative for beginners. This was my very first "watercolor" class, however I have been playing around with it for about 10 years. You presented very well. Where were you when I was stumbling around looking for guidance? (lol) Keep up the good work.
  • Mary K. -  I really enjoyed the class yesterday and my painting turned out rather good! I thought the class was perfect and that you are a great teacher. The part that I thought I would have the most trouble with is was the drawing part, turns out with your help with breaking it down to get the pencil down and the perspective correct it was very easy! I am going to paint it again once you send the recording because I learned so much.
  • ​Audrey S. - Thank you for the wonderful workshop. This will be the 4 th workshop I have taken. David explains things so well, and encourages the artist to use their own imagination. Besides explaining and demonstrating things so well, you feel like you are painting with family and a good friend. David always acknowledges his staff and wife, and takes the time to give thorough answers during the Q & A.  Looking forward to the next time with you. Thank you again for sharing your time and talent with us! 
  • ​Susan E. - I loved the workshop, David. I'm a beginner and the pace was perfect. I appreciated the breaks to catch up. I learned lots of new techniques and I was very proud of my painting. Thank you so much. I look forward to your next class!
  • ​Dale S. - Another great workshop. Enjoyed it very much.  Your lesson gave me a great starting point for a few paintings that I want to try on my own. Can't wait to hear about next month's workshop!
  • ​Cal M. - This was my first class ever in water color, but I have a couple of self-taught years under my belt. I enjoyed the pre-workshop video to familiarize myself with your style and tools. The pre class checklist was perfect and I was ready to go. I very much enjoyed all of it and the descriptions of layering and perspective. I want to do another one and experiment with the colors. I very much appreciated the lesson and I am looking forward to more!
  • ​Cynthia M. - Hi David, I am a fan. Each class is a wonderful learning experience . I enjoy them so much . I am continuing to learn new techniques . I am very glad that you send a video recording post workshop that allows for more practice & reference . I travel a lot so if I have to miss class, I can complete it later.
  • ​Joe D. - Hi David, I really enjoyed the workshop today. I think I picked up a few very valuable tips on various techniques. I especially liked the wet on wet areas as I tend to be too tight when I do my watercolors. Anyway, great workshop and thank you very much. 
  • ​Patti J. - I enjoy your workshops! I like the way you explain your method of painting, Even a beginner can create a beautiful watercolor. I like the way you teach and have learned a lot!

  • ​Mark H. - I really enjoyed the workshops and learned a lot about drawing, composition, simplifying and painting.  I thought the process you used was very clear. I think you did a great job explaining things- so much so that I just purchased your Course for beginners! Looking forward to learning all I can about watercolor! Thanks for a fun workshop!
  • ​Suzanne D. - David, I have truly enjoyed learning this way. I appreciate your enthusiasm and diligence and of course your expertise in watercolor. The video presentation was very professi0nal.
  • ​Nancy C. - Thank you so much for offering these workshops!  I am very new to painting in ANY medium and this workshop helped me in "planning" a painting, which I had not thought about much before. You made it very easy to follow along. I really liked being able to sketch out painting with your guidance beforehand. I am thankful that you have included the video recording to review and redo another painting so I can do it at my own speed an go over all of the valuable instruction one more time. I found the preliminary video and project material list, prior to the workshop, to be immensely informative. Thank You! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and look forward to future classes/workshops. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent!
  • ​Audrey G. - I love your workshops and feel you do an excellent job teaching us! Since I retired a number of years ago, life got in the way of my painting and I haven’t been active in quite a while. You are gradually changing that as I spend more time now painting! It’s fun again!!! So appreciative of your many hours of prep just to present one of these online presentations! Keep up the good work!

  • ​Rebecca B. - I thoroughly enjoyed the watercolor workshop! I appreciated all the resources you sent out beforehand- no excuse not be well prepared and ready to go! I’ve been doing a lot of painting during covid- most days I’ve got my brush in my paints, and have learned so much from artists like yourself.
    It was fun to learn new techniques. Thanks again for an excellent workshop! I feel I learned a lot!
  • ​Cheryl C. - Your workshops always pull me further along on my journey to be able enjoy painting and feeling good about my work. As soon as I finish the new painting I post it in Facebook group. I look forward every month to your workshops!

Re: How 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, and that 99% of all watercolor artists never maximize their full potential or experience the true joy that creativity has to offer?

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. There is an accelerated learning process for watercolor painting 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 several 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 virtual "Watercolor Mastery Workshops" (plus some new cutting edge material I am excited to share with you)!
