Workshops 2026

Here we go! Registrations are already open or will open soon for in-person workshops in 2026!

A 5-day workshop in picturesque Bruges and Ghent in Belgium. Organized by Studio 56 with workshop instruction half day and visiting cultural sites (and sketching together as a group) in the afternoons. Only a few spots left. Info is HERE.

Back for my annual workshop in the stunning (and I mean STUNNING) Civita di Bagnoregio, Italy. Just north of Rome and 20 minutes south from Orvieto. Tiny town, no cars, amazing food, breathtaking views of the deep valleys on all sides, you will be transported back in time. 5 intense days of perspective and watercolor instruction. This one is organized by me, so contact me at st.bower@icloud.com for information.

Returning for the second year to the Northern California Coast at Asilomar in Pacific Grove. Organized by Madeline Island School of the Arts, it’s 5 days of unique instruction in that it’s both urban sketching on location AND studio instruction. Essentially, two workshops in one that focus on learning perspective and watercolor. Info is HERE.

I hope you can join me for one of these! I’m in the throes of working on a new book on perspective now, so I’m putting a hold for a bit on doing online classes. That said, I’ll also be in Toulouse at the USk Symposium, and I hope to finally add a few workshops here at home in Seattle for local sketchers later this year! Cheers, all, and Happy Sketching wherever the 2026 takes you!
