Watercolor Happy Hour is a mellow, fast paced way to dive into water-based media and build your artistic confidence in a supportive environment.  

*All levels of experience welcome! 

We'll start each class with some instruction and a creative prompt to help alleviate any fear of that dreaded empty piece of white paper. When the weather allows, we'll move outside to the gazebo and garden area to use our surroundings as inspiration and a chance to dig into observational techniques.    

We'll follow our curiosity and lean into observations AND learn foundational knowledge, and concrete techniques. My goal is for you to leave these sessions feeling a little more centered and peaceful, and empowered to keep exploring the medium on your own.

*Classes meet at The Toolbox Collective (link below)
