"You made me feel like I could paint."
(From a former student, now a teacher)

Woody Hansen's “No Bull” workshops feature daily watercolor demonstrations, brief lectures, critiques, and time for plenty of hands-on practice, guidance and questions. Workshops are challenging, fun, informative, productive, and appropriately humorous. The demo, painting, and critique atmosphere are relaxed, friendly, and highly conducive to clearly learning the elements of a good painting and developing self-confidence.
“Your workshop was the best ... I ever attended.”
Woody Hansen workshops will help you better understand how a simplified approach to color, line, shape and value can have a liberating influence toward dramatically improving your work. Beginner through advanced painter, whether you prefer to work from a plan, or allow your work to evolve, whether your interest is representational, abstract, semi-abstract, or non-objective, you’ll find a positive, “No Bull” environment in which to exercise, clarify and improve critical thinking, reading and painting skills.
“You and Marlene were gracious hosts and you are a patient teacher.”
Woody Hansen workshop content is adjusted to suit the personalized needs and interests of those in attendance. Therefore, every workshop offers - beyond the basics - a fresh and different approach. Woody will help you avoid the photographic ideal, while encouraging you to work toward a goal of artistic excellence. Bring an open mind and he will share with you the complexities, truths, misconceptions, and contradictions of watercolor, learned over 40 plus years of painting.
“... useful demos and lectures, with no trivia and plenty of 'push'.”
Outdoor Workshop painting sites are selected for scenic beauty, ample subject matter, ease of access, parking, and general accommodations. You will leave these workshops with a better understanding of how a bit of planning, simplicity, and design can stimulate and inspire one's artistic potential to the fullest.
