When
Watercolor painting not only produces beautiful imagery but can also serve as a meaningful way to observe sensory details—textures, colors, shapes, and patterns. The tactile experience of working with pencil, brush, and paper can also tap into our fundamental human need for sensory feedback. Together, we will explore the practice of mark-making as a way to engage more deeply with nature, while enjoying a much-needed respite from the everyday stressors of modern life.
