Intuitive Watercolor Painting

Creative expression is more about getting something down than thinking something up, but our days are busy and flooded with information coming at us left and right. How are we supposed to hear what is inside of us wanting to get out?

This workshop creates a space for you to listen to your creative voice inside through watercolor painting. You’ll learn methods to slow down and pay attention to the medium so that it can help guide your experience. When we get intentional and quiet with a brush in hand, little by little, we can start to hear that voice. Eventually, we learn how to listen to it without judgment.

This workshop is not like most classes out there on watercolor. We are painting for self-care and to develop a meaningful relationship with the medium itself. I like to keep the class size small to foster connections between you and me as well as with other participants. Community is a huge part of a sustainable, nourishing art practice.

The majority of the time in this workshop will be spent painting independently focusing on the process of painting itself rather than the end result. You will practice listening to only your gut intuition with minimal structure.

Intuitive Watercolor Painting is for folks with a little experience in watercolors. For a beginner-level class, try Stress-Free Watercolor For Beginners
