In this low-key class, we'll focus on painting abstract watercolors without pressure and, more importantly, without our phones! Too often while painting, we're tempted to look up inspiration or sample paintings to copy, whereas during this session, we'll instead keep our focus on our paints and paper
At the start, I'll demo some easy abstract patterns and motifs for you to work on, and you'll have lots of time to disconnect and just paint. For this session, we won't focus on whether we have the right paper or fancy enough paints, we'll just explore our palette and completely relax
