Immersive Watercolor + Inner Artist Weekend Workshop

October 9, 10, 11 2026  

Friday 4–8 PM • Saturday 9 AM-5 PM Sunday 10 AM–4 PM

Immerse yourself in a transformative weekend of watercolor, creative exploration, and personal artistic growth. This three-day intensive workshop blends hands-on techniques with reflective practice, guiding you to deepen your skills while reconnecting with the artist within.

Across the weekend, participants will explore watercolor through layered washes, expressive mark‑making, field‑sketching walks, and guided studio sessions designed to help you develop and refine your personal style. Alongside the technical work, we’ll engage in conversations about the artist’s life—creative courage, sustaining inspiration, navigating blocks, and cultivating a meaningful studio practice. We will also experience life stories from local artists and creatives through floral arranging and printmaking.

Each day includes working lunch sessions where we gather to discuss artist life stories, share reflections, and build community. Snacks and drinks will be available throughout the day to keep you energized. 

Whether you’re seeking to expand your watercolor technique, reconnect with your creative identity, or simply spend a weekend immersed in art and conversation, this workshop offers a rich, restorative space to grow. This workshop is for adults only with a basic level of watercolor. There are 8 spots in this class.
