Watercolor Workshop with Kim Shaw! April 21st, 6:00-8:00pm
Want to grow your knowledge of drawing and painting? Or create some space to explore how art making can heal your heart, grow your soul or invite meditative art practice into your life? Join us for this special workshop edition of Watercolor with Kim! Beginning and Intermediate art makers welcome.
Kim will start everyone with the basics of observation, materials, and beginning watercolor practice. Then, students will have the option to stay in a beginners practice or stretch themselves into intermediate practice with additional prompts from Kim. This will be a safe space for creative exploration.
Tickets are $45 for students who bring their own art supplies, and an additional +$20 for students who wish to have tools supplied for them at class that they will take home and keep to further their practice.
