Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for participants in the Colors of Moab workshop?

A: The workshop is open to artists of all ages, although it's primarily geared towards adults. If you're considering gifting this to a teenager or a child, I’d recommend reaching out to Carol Newsom directly to see if they can accommodate younger artists. Overall, the environment is very supportive and welcoming!

Q: What should I wear for the watercolor workshop in Moab?

A: Definitely dress in layers! The mornings can be cool in Moab, but it can get hot during the day. I'd suggest bringing a wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen since you'll be outside painting for hours. Also, wear clothes you don’t mind getting paint on.

Q: How strict is the rescheduling policy if something comes up?

A: Carol is quite understanding! If you need to reschedule, just reach out as soon as possible. They'll work with you to find another date that fits. Just keep in mind that it’s best to notify them at least a week prior to the workshop.

Thinking about gifting the Colors of Moab watercolor workshop!

I’m seriously considering this workshop for my partner’s birthday. They love painting, and I think a week in Moab with Carol Newsom would be amazing! I love how it’s set in such a beautiful location. Has anyone here gone? How was the experience? I want to make sure it’s worth it before I pull the trigger.

What to expect during the Colors of Moab workshop?

I just signed up for the workshop and I'm so excited! But I’m a little nervous about my skill level. I'm a beginner but want to improve. Can anyone share what the instruction is like? Also, how's the vibe in the group? Trying to manage my expectations!
