Artist Jacqueline Newbold enjoys painting life in color!

  Her color-filled watercolor paintings capture a moment in time – sunlight on red poppies, the glow of a Tuscan village perched on a mountaintop, or the brilliance of a dramatic Oregon Cascade Mountain sunset.  Jacqueline loves to share her passion for watercolor painting and mixed-media art journaling by teaching in her Art in My Heart private studio, the Art Unraveled Art Retreats in Phoenix, the Art & Soul Retreats in Portland, Oregon, France, and Italy.  She teaches private watercolor lessons, classes, and workshops in her private art studio in Bend, Oregon.

“My life’s journey gives me a never-ending source of inspiration to represent little gems of the world in my color-filled paintings.”

Artist Jacqueline Newbold Art Journals and Sketches

Much of Newbold’s inspiration comes from her travels. She brings her efficiently organized backpack of painting supplies.  It is filled with her art journal.  She experiments with various imaginative ways to combine watercolor with mixed-media.  Spending time creating in her art journal is her favorite artistic outlet.

“Art journaling to me is not so much about making art but recording my life in a colorful way.  My journals are a place where I can experiment with different art mediums, and sort things out.  I write about my life, my sorrows, my adventures, and travels.  Playing with color, sketching, and doodling, is fun and relaxing.  The process is fun!  I love when the result surprises me.”

Jacqueline is a Watercolor Teacher

“I enjoy teaching watercolor to beginning students!  It is fun to see their joy of learning how to control the color and the paint.  I also enjoy teaching watercolor to intermediate and advanced painters.”

Jacqueline has an Interweave Workshop DVD:  Art Journals On-The-Go: How to pack, prep, paint, and more

She has a self-published book, Watercolor Journeys, a helpful guide for beginning to advanced watercolor enthusiasts.  Her articles and artwork can be found in magazines such as Somerset Studio’s Art Journaling, Interweave Press’s Cloth Paper Scissors, Studios, and the Cloth, Paper Scissors Book.
