Join us for a fun, lively, and creative watercolor experience led by Amanda Slaughter. This hands-on session introduces participants to the basics of drawing and painting with watercolor, including brush handling, gesture drawing, and color mixing. Attendees will explore the fluid, expressive nature of watercolor while creating their own original painting to take home the same day. Whether you’re brand new to art or simply looking to reconnect with your creativity, this session offers an encouraging, low-pressure environment where experimentation is welcome.
