Four Nights, Full Workshop Days, Full Room & Board

Iain Stewart: From Sketchbook to Studio

Four Nights, Full Workshop Days, Full Room & Board

If your sketchbooks feel alive but your studio paintings fall flat, this workshop is the bridge.

Iain Stewart shares the exact process he’s refined through years of university teaching and workshops—starting with why a subject matters to you and how to design it for watercolor.

You’ll learn to:

  • Break any scene into major shapes and value groups

  • “Play” with ideas using thumbnail sketches

  • Reorganize reality for a stronger composition

  • Move from on-site or photo references into finished paintings

Iain keeps the atmosphere calm and supportive, helping you let go of performance anxiety and focus on creation. He’s famous for reminders like:

“Never let reality get in the way of a good painting.” 
“Don’t let a pencil line tell you where to put your brush.”

Expect demos, guided exercises, and individual coaching. You’ll leave with sketchbook studies, studio pieces in progress, and a repeatable way to turn your everyday observations into expressive paintings.
