About this Event
UNORTHODOX WASHES — Season 1 Series Pass (All 5 Sessions) is the complete experience: five weeknight studio nights where you trade ordinary paint for beautifully unpredictable wet media—then finish with a finale open studio where you combine everything into one mixed-media masterpiece.
This isn’t a follow-along “paint party.” It’s a paint-n-sip workshop series with real technique, a great room, and an inviting, date-night-friendly vibe. Each session focuses on one medium and its signature behavior—blooms, plumes, oxidation shifts, archival sepia washes—so you build confidence and control one night at a time. Then, Session V: The Unorthodox Lab turns you loose with all four media on the table.
What the Series Pass Includes
Your pass covers admission to all five sessions:
- Session I: Coffee Washes
- Session II: Squid Ink Noir
- Session III: Wine Stains & Oxidation
- Session IV: Walnut Ink Studies
- Session V: The Unorthodox Lab — Finale Mixed Media Open Studio
What you can expect
- A guided 2-hour session each night, plus optional 30–45 minutes to finish if you need extra time
- Step-by-step demos, then making time for walk-around coaching
- A balance of structure and freedom: you’ll learn repeatable techniques, but your work stays your own
- A true series arc: each session builds toward the finale, where you mix and layer media with intention
What’s included every night
- All materials and supplies (paper, brushes, palettes, and the featured media)
- Guided instruction + hands-on help
- Wine, light hors d’oeuvres, and Romolo’s chocolates
- A relaxed studio atmosphere that still respects the craft
Who this is for
- Couples looking for a weeknight date that’s actually memorable
- Artists and enthusiasts who love texture, process, and unusual tools
- Beginners who want a supportive, low-pressure entry into wet media
- Anyone who wants to leave with work that looks like it came out of an alchemist’s studio
Why the Series Pass is the best way to do it
You’ll get the full arc, the best value, and the payoff of the finale Lab, where everything clicks. Seats are limited, and supplies are prepared per registration—if you want the complete experience, this is the move.
