Watercolor Workshop: Black Cat

Add a little mystery to your watercolor practice in our Watercolor Workshop: Black Cat, where we’ll paint a striking black cat using a mostly monochromatic palette with a pop of warm color for the eyes.

In this class, we’ll explore beginner-friendly techniques for painting with a limited range of colors, creating depth and dimension through changes in value rather than relying on multiple hues. You’ll learn how to build rich dark areas while preserving highlights, create soft and textured edges, and use a small accent color to draw the eye and add impact to your composition.

We’ll paint together step by step in a relaxed, encouraging environment, focusing on the process rather than perfection. By the end of class, you’ll have new techniques for working with monochromatic palettes, controlling values, creating contrast, and using accent colors effectively—skills you can carry into future watercolor projects.

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…

Classes focus on loose, contemporary watercolor techniques that celebrate movement, color, and personality over perfection. You’ll learn to simplify shapes, embrace organic textures, and let the paint do some of the work, creating artwork that’s expressive, approachable, and uniquely your own.
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.
