Is this you?

  • You feel too hurried and busy as an artist or creator
  • You feel disconnected from your craft
  • You feel inadequate or have imposter syndrome

I've been in your shoes, and still have those feelings from time to time. But when I discovered how to practice self-care through mindfulness, I was able to free myself from those feelings.

In this class, I want to take you on your own mindfulness journey, and use watercolor as the medium. We will do that by harnessing peace through breathing exercises. Confronting the negative thoughts you have as an artist. Setting goals and dreams for yourself. And creating a motivational card that will continue to inspire you to practice mindfulness everyday.

This class is for all levels of artists because we can all benefit from slowing down and being more present.

You'll need basic watercolor supplies:

  • Watercolor paint. (any colors you like)
  • Brushes (round size 6; flat brushes optional)
  • Cold-pressed watercolor paper
  • Jars of water
  • Paper towel or cotton rag
  • Spray bottle with water
  • Pencil & eraser
  • Black permanent ink pen
  • Straw
  • Hair dryer (optional)

My hope is that by the end of the class, you will have a better sense of who you are as an artist, feel more confident, and have the discipline to continue on your mindfulness journey.

I'll see you in class.
