Easy! Watercolor Workshop for Adults

Join us for an afternoon of exploring watercolor painting. There are various techniques to work with, and each workshop will introduce you to simple methods to experiment with, as well as fun ways to incorporate watercolor paint, ink, pencils, and markers.

Watercolor painting can help you relax and reset your mind, or serve as a visual journal for expressing feelings that words may not fully convey. The facilitator will share her insights and ideas for activities you can do at home.

We offer two workshops: a family session from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. and an adult-only session from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. 
The workshop will be held at Children’s Art Carnival at 62 Hamilton Place, New York, NY 10031

About the facilitator:

Tomo Mori is a native of Japan and a West Harlem-based artist who focuses on fiber art installation and collage.

Tomo learned watercolor rigorously under a master watercolorist from age 14 to 15 to enroll herself at Tokyo Metropolitan High School for Music and Fine Art, and she was accepted to the school with a perfect score.

Watercolor is not central to her current art practice; however, she uses the skill to sketch her ideas or keep a visual journal. When she paints watercolor, she finds freedom, lighting her spirit. Perhaps because they are just sketches, or the medium is easy to manage. Through these workshops she wants to share the joy and therapeutic nature of watercolor painting.

Tomo's work has been exhibited in various venues like Columbia University, Scope Miami, Laundromat Project, Rush Arts Galleries, Governors Island, Newark Museum, and Christie's. She received a commission from MTA and completed a laminated glass and metal installation in 2018. She participated in the Winter Workspace Residency at Wave Hill in early 2023. She is currently working as a studio artist at the Children's Art Carnival.
