Watercolor for Calm • Relaxing Stones & Color Exploration

Life can feel busy and overstimulating, and sometimes it helps to slow down with something simple and repetitive. In this process-based watercolor class, students will explore painting stone shapes as a way to relax, focus, and reconnect with the creative process.

Using a limited color palette, we’ll experiment with paint consistency, water control, and soft color blending. Students will create small, repeated studies of stones, allowing colors to flow and interact naturally on the page.

This class is open to all skill levels and focuses on exploration rather than creating a perfect finished piece. With gentle guidance and plenty of space to experiment, students are encouraged to follow their curiosity and notice what feels calming and enjoyable. Participants will leave with a small 4” x 6” painting on 140 lb watercolor paper, created with professional-quality paints, along with a better understanding of watercolor and a simple practice they can return to anytime.

What to Expect
