Creative Mindfulness: Exploring the Joys of Watercolor

Painting with watercolors can be meditative, peaceful, and calming! During this 2-hour workshop, we’ll explore the world of free-flowing watercolors while learning some basic washes and techniques that will enable you to enjoy them on your own. Whether you have no experience with watercolors or would like to brush up on basic skills and perhaps learn something new, this program is for you.
As you follow along, this workshop will help you learn about:
• Basic Watercolor Supplies
• Basic Washes & Techniques
• Watercolors as a mindfulness tool

Registration is required and space is limited. Open to Healing Garden clients. This program will meet on-site at the Healing Garden.
