WATERCOLOR JOURNALING

What better way to reflect on our life experiences than to paint and write in a personal journal? So much has changed and will continue to change, but journaling, especially when combined with painting, offers a way to ground and express ourselves and be purposeful in our lives. Each class session will have a theme and you will learn watercolor basics as you follow prompts and thought-provoking material to reflect upon. We will cover small scale watercolor and doodling basics so that you can enhance your journals, and therefore, your thought process. This workshop will be a safe space for all involved and all levels of experience are welcome.
