Unwind and explore the beauty of watercolor in this calming, beginner-friendly workshop. You’ll learn the wet-on-wet technique and how to blend seamless color gradients to create a soft, expressive artwork.

We’ll cover brush control, water balance, and layering so you leave with both a finished piece and skills you can continue to use at home.

Perfect for all ages and experience levels, just come ready to relax and paint.

Lindsay Sheldon began creating The Paper Darlings by pure serendipity. One summer's day she gathered her art supplies and sat by the Capitol to sketch the landmark, but after failing at the first try, she changed course and whipped up a small painting of three friends sitting next to each other in swimsuits.

She held it up to the Capitol’s reflecting pool, snapped a photo and shared it. People began referring to the painted sunbathers as paper dolls and soon after The Paper Darlings was born. Now over six years later, her paintings have found homes across the globe and she continues to create new works as a mixed media artist, incorporating watercolor, ink, acrylic, oil and wax pastels into her art.
