FOUR-WEEK COURSE MEETS
tHURSDAY, JUNE 4TH, 11TH, 18TH, & 25TH
FROM 5:00PM - 7:00PM

A daily watercolor/ink journal can become exactly the kind of gentle structure + creative freedom your brain thrives on. The trick is to build a system that contains your ideas without boxing them in — something that feels like a soft riverbank, not a rigid grid. Together, we will explore gentle watercolor and ink techniques along with creative expression exercises in a way that will support a consistent creative practice. The goal is for journal creation to feel therapeutic, sustainable, and creatively alive. All skill levels welcome!

Class 1 — Foundations of a Gentle Practice
Soft structure, simple warm‑ups, intuitive mark‑making, and letting go of perfection.
Class 2 — Observation & Noticing  
Watercolor + ink techniques for capturing small moments; mindful seeing exercises.
Class 3 — Expression & Visual Language  
Mood‑based color, symbolic marks, layering, and connecting emotion to imagery.
Class 4 — Integration & Flow  
Combining techniques, creating weekly rhythms, and building a sustainable habit.
