About the event

Unplug, unwind, and let nature guide your brush in this 3-hour plein air (open-air) watercolor painting workshop taught by artist Susan Payne. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refresh your creative practice, this class invites you to explore watercolor techniques in a relaxed and inspiring open-air setting.

In this relaxed mostly outdoor workshop you’ll practice time‑tested techniques, discover how light changes your palette, and walk in the footsteps of celebrated plein‑air masters.

We’ll start in the classroom with a short demo covering sketching and watercolor basics—color mixing, washes, brush control, and how to capture light and texture in nature. Then we will go outdoors and you'll choose your own view or subject (flowers, trees, landscapes, or abstract impressions), and paint at your own pace with instructor guidance available throughout.

You’ll leave with one or more completed watercolor studies, fresh inspiration, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of painting…

    Mission Statement

    Renton Art Oasis is a nonprofit dedicated to nurturing the creative spirit of Renton’s local artists through access to resources, public exposure, and community-driven programming. We believe art is for everyone, and we work to remove barriers by offering free or low-cost classes, providing art supplies, and creating inclusive spaces where all people—regardless of background or income—can participate. Our mission is to cultivate a vibrant arts scene by empowering artists and fostering meaningful connections between creators and the community.

    We believe:

    Art lives everywhere - not just in galleries or studios, but in neighborhoods, conversations, and everyday acts of creativity.

    Art is for everyone - every voice matters, and every form of expression
    has value.

    Art builds community - bringing people together to imagine, heal, and grow.

    If it comes from a place of intention, imagination, or lived experience,
    it belongs here.

    Renton Art Oasis is a home for all forms of art—and all who create it.
