Watercolor Workshop in Italy
You will learn how to create a visual diary of watercolor paintings and mixed media as you slow down, observe and savor your time in Italy.
Mybook, Watercolor Journeys, Inspiration from Travel is Now Available!
Here is what Lynn said about my book: Dear Jacqueline,
Just wanted to let you know that I received your book today, “Watercolor Journeys”. Wow! What a treasure! I love it! You need to expand on it and publish it big time! What a gorgeous book and filled with great information and beautiful artwork! I read your introduction and was struck by your upbringing
Here is what Jeanne said, Hi Jacqueline,
I just wanted to follow up with you…I LOVE the book, I have been pouring over it and working on the lessons – I feel like they should be called “workshops”, they have proven to be so productive and interesting for me. Your careful, organized, right-to-the-point explanations and ideas to try out the concepts (especially color mixing, love the chickens:-) has been very helpful, fillling in the holes in my watercolor education. I am having so much fun with it, and not feeling any of the tentativeness or anxiety around the outcome as I have in the past. The journal format is perfect for this, perfect for me. I’m adding a little collage, too, as the spirit moves. Thanks so much – you are a wonderful teacher.
Watercolor Palette Review – Part 2
PROS:
- Very small, compact and adorable!
- Metal with a closing lid
- Has a water built in water container and a detachable water holder that clips onto the side.
- Holds 12 colors
Watercolor Palette Review, PART 1
1. THE HERITAGE PALETTE – this is probably my all around favorite palette and recommend it to all my students. It is especially great for travel. Because of this, it is included in my Daniel Smith Jacqueline Newbold Watercolor Kit.
PROS:
- Folds and has a lid plus a removable mixing tray.
- I like to put a laminated color list under the removable tray.
- Nice big mixing areas.
- Generous 18 wells for color.
- Can be used for travel or in-studio painting.
CONS:
- Only holds 18 colors.
- Probably too large for backpacking type painting.
2. DANIEL SMITH TRAVEL BOX – Another one of my favorite palettes! This is metal with removable and refillable 1/2 pans or full pans so there is lots of freedom for switching out colors.
- 24 color wells.
- Removable 1/2 pans or 12 full pans or a mix of the two creating lots of freedom to change out colors as needed.
- Adequate mixing areas.
- Folding and closing lid.
- Can be used for travel or studio painting.
- My first one finally looked so bad I had to replace it. It got rusty and the paint buckled up on the lids.
- The metal makes it heavier that a plastic palette.

Watercolor Lesson – Creating Colorful Darks, Part 4
Finally! I am about finished with my colorful dark window. My goal was to make the inside of the window colorful and lively leaving the viewer with the a feeling of interest; that there is life inside the house and not a dull dark black color. It also provides a wonderful dark backdrop so that the flowers in the window can pop!
I have added shadows below the flowers and negative painted around some of the stones to give the feeling of an old stone wall.
To see my process, check out previous blog posts:
