About this Event
Join us for a transformative workshop, where we explore the restorative and mindful aspects of watercolor painting. Under the guidance of skilled instructor Maya Alia, attendees will be inspired to create multiple watercolor pieces, painting from floral arrangements. The workshop will seamlessly blend structured technique-building sessions with open, free-style painting accompanied by gentle music, allowing for both learning and a therapeutic, creative experience.
