Intro to Watercolor - 1 spot left!
September 20 | 12:30p - 2:30p
LA moves fast, but Sundays don't have to. Join artist Shannon for a beginner watercolor workshop - an easygoing afternoon of creativity, color, and calm that feels like a reset for the week ahead. This is a small, welcoming space where you'll learn the craft: how to control water, mix colors, and build confidence on paper, step by step. No experience needed, no supplies to track down. Everything is provided, and Shannon will guide you through each step. You'll leave with finished pieces you actually want to hang on your wall. You'll take home: a full set of paints, brushes, and a techniques packet to keep painting long after Sunday ends. If painting has always felt out of reach, this is where that changes.
Sign up: Space is limited, please sign up here!
Price & Payment: $85 per person (please Venmo or Paypal Shannon (Courter Inch LLC) directly to secure your spot!
