Join us for this exploratory watercolor workshop to build confidence with the medium.
Engage in watercolor techniques from intuitive mark making and blind drawings to movement-inspired activities and observational sketching. Through playful, process-driven exercises, participants will explore light in 2D, develop timing and technique, and discover ways to refine their work (yes, you can "erase" watercolor!). Contribute to a fluid sketchbook practice or work on more developed pieces. Open to all levels, this workshop invites a joyful, curiosity-led approach to drawing and painting, with an emphasis on personal voice and artistic exploration.
