Stress-Free Watercolor for Beginners

Taking that leap to start something completely new can be scary. Don’t worry. I’ve got your back!

Through a slow pace and step-by-step instruction, you will learn practical methods to unfold into the practice of watercolor. Rather than working towards a finished art piece, you will be focusing on basic techniques that can be incorporated into a daily meditative practice.

When getting started with a new hobby or creative endeavor it’s easy to get preoccupied with the finished products we’ve seen around us. With painting, this can often lead to a premature sense of defeat when the thing we make doesn’t look like what we set out to do.

It’s crucial to go easy on ourselves and remember that we are at the very beginning. You can’t expect to ride a bike perfectly the first time you touch one, and the same goes for any new art practice. While developing honing skills are essential to a meaningful and sustainable painting practice, with time they will follow a genuine curiosity and slow play with the medium itself.

The bottom line is you’ve gotta start someplace! We all tend to be too hard on ourselves, but this class will help you get started with gentle kindness towards yourself.
