Jacqueline Newbold’s Colorful Watercolor Paintings Capture Gorgeous Landscapes, Cityscapes, and Flowers
Portland Art and Soul Retreat
The Portland Art and Soul Retreat workshops are coming right up! This year I thought it would be fun to offer two classes that are longer and more in-depth. We will dive in and learn more techniques and have more time to paint together! Check out all my workshops below…
UPCOMING WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES
ART AND SOUL Portland, Oregon
Tuesday, April 11, 2023: I really enjoy keeping a nature journal. It is a place to record my notes about the wildlife I encounter. It is a great place to experiment with new papers, paints, and mixed-media.
Wednesday, April 12, 2023: Learn how to transform your own travel experiences into paintings. Finding inspiration from urban sketching and using our colorful watercolors, we will paint scenes in and around quaint Italian and French villages.
Past Workshops and Classes
PLAYING WITH COLOR, Wednesday, March 16, 2022
In this workshop, we will be experimenting with watercolor paints to learn how to successfully mix colors. Color theory and our color wheels will be our guide to choosing which colors to combine to create vibrant mixes for our small colorful watercolor studies.
THE PAINTED GARDEN, Thursday, March 17, 2022
We will paint lively and colorful garden flowers using watercolors. These will be impressionistic flower paintings with an emphasis on loose and flowing painting techniques.
Painting in Orvieto, Italy May 22-28, 2022
I am very excited to tell you that registration is now open for my Italian Watercolor Workshop! Would you like to join me on this fantastic painting experience in Italy? Imagine how lovely it will be to spend a week surrounded by the rich sights, sounds, tastes, and colors that Umbria has to offer.
We will explore the streets of the historic hilltop village of Orvieto, known for its stone archways, Italian piazzas, espressos and gelatos, Italian wine, and delicious foods, and the Duomo di Orvieto widely considered the most glorious example of Italian gothic design. Every corner, every door, every window embellished with spring flowers can easily become a fun painting! Our studio time will be like a beautiful tango, learning how to create rich glowing color combinations, recreating bright sunshine and colorful shadows on paper, preparing our journal pages for paintings and art. We will enjoy time learning sketching, watercolor, color mixing, and pen and ink perspective designs that we will put into action when we step out into the beautiful cobblestoned streets of Orvieto, capturing our Italian moments together. Paradiso!

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.
