Botanical watercolor Initiation – 2 to 3 hours

A slow, intuitive way to begin (or rediscover) watercolor, rooted in real observation of local plants.

You’ll learn how to mix colors, layer transparently, and let the paint breathe — embracing imperfections along the way.

What to expect:
• Techniques to slow down and really see
• Hands-on practice with mixing, layering, and flow
• A quiet moment to reconnect with nature through color

Best for:
Beginners, nature lovers, curious minds — anyone wanting to try watercolor without pressure.

Vaea created a very easy atmosphere to relax, but also focus quietly and completely. The materials were simple and organized.
I had a lovely time and really got lost in the watercolors.
