Storytelling in Watercolour and Gouache: An Immersive Weekend Workshop


  • 732 Charlotte Street Fredericton, NB (map)

Join artist Eva Christensen for an intensive two-day workshop exploring personal storytelling through watercolour and gouache. This immersive weekend experience is designed for painters who want to elevate their narrative painting skills and take a personal project from concept through to near-completion (or completion) in a supportive, focused environment.

Through guided instruction, demonstrations, and individualized coaching, you'll work on your own meaningful painting while learning Eva's process for transforming personal photographs into compelling visual narratives.

Core components include:

  • Addressing common pitfalls when working with watercolour and gouache

  • Deep-dive techniques for advanced watercolour application

  • Composition and storytelling strategies for personal narratives

  • Group and individual critiques with targeted feedback

  • Exercises to explore and develop your unique painting voice

  • Real-time demonstrations as Eva paints alongside you

Important Note: This is not a beginner watercolour course. To ensure you'll benefit fully from this intensive workshop, participants should have experience with:

  • Basic watercolour techniques and terminology

  • Color mixing and brush control

  • Understanding of paint consistency and layering

  • Participants must bring their own materials (detailed list provided upon registration) and reference photo(s) for their weekend painting project
