Watercolors by the James

Watercolors by the James is back for 2026!

Spending time in nature, especially near water, offers great benefits to our emotional, mental, and physical well being. Take care of yourself and join James River Association staff members to learn about the river and become a better steward of our natural resources.

Join JRA Restoration Director Amber Ellis for an afternoon of watercolor painting by the river. Amber will share about her experiences working on and for the James, and how art allows them to slow down and reconnect with the river. Learn and practice simple watercolor techniques to capture your experience by the James. This is for all levels, art supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your own if you have them.
