About this Event
Hey there! My name is Nabiya. I’m an artist, calligrapher and maker who loves turning simple things into something joyful and handmade. My passion is creating watercolor art, especially florals, and transforming them into unique pieces like bookmarks, magnets, and gifts. I believe art should feel fun, relaxing, and whimsical. Through my workshops, I love sharing easy techniques, little tips, and lots of encouragement so you can walk away with art that feels beautifully yours.
Through my instagram @writtenvibes, I share my love for colors, words, and handmade details, turning small pieces of art into meaningful keepsakes. I also collaborated with many art brands like Plaid crafts and Kingart Company as an art content creator.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN :
1. Materials & setup — the best paper, brushes, palette, and how to set up a tidy, easy workspace.
2. Watercolor basics — mixing color, value (light vs dark), and how water affects transparency.
3. Brush control drills — simple exercises to master strokes, pressure, and shapes for petals and leaves.
4. Loose floral techniques — paint soft, effortless blooms using wet-on-dry methods plus layering for depth.
5. Line & wash finishing — how to add playful, offset ink outlines and tiny details without overworking the piece.
6. Bookmark design & assembly — scale your florals for a narrow format, mount on backing, ribbons or tassels, and gift-ready finishing.
By the end: you’ll leave with handmade floral bookmarks you created and easy tips to recreate them at home.
Perfect for beginners & happy makers — no experience needed.
