It's often a fear of failure, not a lack of talent, that causes our creativity to withdraw. In these workshops, we elicit the creative spirit through a nurturing environment and playful cooperation.
Standard watercolor techniques (such as masking, wet-on-wet, dry brush painting, color bleeding, and color mixing) are used in support of an intuitive approach to painting. Fun games and tricks bounce us into creative action. No previous experience is necessary. Lively discussion included.
Please see materials list. Class size limited to 16 participants.

One rule: Avoid negative self-talk. You are doing your best. Change "I'm not good at this" to "This is new to me."Doing something new and unfamiliar takes courage. Something called you here; trust it.
Demos are to show a way, not The way.
