Beginning to Advanced Watercolor Workshops are held weekdays at Tacoma Community College and weekends in the studio above Kelley's Custom Frame & Gallery at 113 N. Tacoma Ave in Tacoma's Stadium District.  For information on workshop rates and times, please contact scott@scottmulholland.net.

I also visit many different Puget Sound Retirement homes and Rehab Clinics to paint with many very special people.

I try to motivate my students to enjoy the creative process and have fun while painting. I like them to say, "Is that the time already?" when it's time to pack up. That shows me they were in a therapeutic and healthy place with their paintings.

Winter of '07 / '08 brought us handmade greeting cards with icy blue backgrounds and geometric snowflakes.  These two paintings came from a workshop using Spanish sea salt to create the mood of the painting.  We built the next two layers with consecutive flat washes.

Last summer we painted a dragonfly series. We started with wet-on-wet washes, then carefully used an iridescent metallic paint for the body and a granulating mineral paint for the wing structure.

We have also painted rustic barns, swallows, still-lifes with summer fruit and flowers, beach scenes and vineyards.
