Watercolor Workshop: Expressive Cactuses

Welcome to our Watercolor Workshop: Expressive Cactuses — a study in structure, shape, and playful texture. We’ll use loose brushstrokes to build bold silhouettes while layering washes to create subtle dimension and tonal variation.

You’ll practice brush control, repetition, and adding texture through simple mark-making techniques. By the end, you’ll leave with a striking cactus painting and a clearer understanding of how to balance structure and freedom in your watercolor work.

You’ll learn simple beginner techniques you can apply to any watercolor project, from greeting cards to journaling to fine art. But the benefits go far beyond technique…

Abstract impressionist watercolor is deeply relaxing and freeing. Unlike traditional realism, there’s no pressure to make anything “perfect.” You’re encouraged to trust the brush, let color flow, and explore shapes and movement with curiosity rather than control.
Watercolor helps calm the mind. The gentle repetition of brush strokes, soft edges, and flowing pigment naturally slows breathing, eases stress, and helps quiet racing thoughts.
It’s social, joyful, and screen-free—no tech, no expectations, just time to unwind and make something beautiful.

Whether you’re brand new to painting, looking for a fun activity with friends, or wanting to explore art as a mindful practice, I would love to have you join me. No experience is needed — this class is all about slowing down, enjoying the process, and exploring your creativity in a supportive, relaxing environment.
