About this Event

Workshop Description:

Unlock your creativity and dive into the calming, colorful world of watercolor painting in this beginner-friendly workshop designed for aspiring artists and curious creatives alike. Intro to Watercolors – Learn to Paint is the perfect starting point for anyone eager to explore the fundamentals of watercolor techniques while gaining confidence in their artistic abilities.

Over the course of this hands-on session, participants will be introduced to the essential tools and materials used in watercolor painting, including types of brushes, paper, and paints. You’ll learn how to mix colors, control water flow, and apply washes, as well as explore techniques such as wet-on-wet, dry brush, and layering to create depth and texture.

Led by an experienced watercolor artist, this workshop emphasizes a relaxed, supportive environment where experimentation is encouraged and mistakes are part of the learning journey. Step-by-step guidance will help you create your own beautiful, expressive watercolor paintings—even if you’ve never picked up a brush before. Through a series of fun and approachable exercises, you’ll practice blending colors, creating gradients, and painting simple subjects like botanicals, landscapes, or abstract patterns.

By the end of the session, you'll walk away with:

  • A solid understanding of watercolor basics
  • Your own set of mini watercolor artworks
  • A toolkit of techniques to keep developing your skills
  • Inspiration and confidence to continue painting at home

Whether you’re looking for a new hobby, a creative outlet, or a chance to unwind and play with color, this workshop is a welcoming place to begin your artistic journey. No prior experience required—all materials are provided!

Come as you are, and leave with new skills, fresh inspiration, and the joy of painting with watercolors.
