DIY Watercolor Paint & Lessons
-
Learn a New Skill: Spend a full day gaining hands-on experience making your own quality watercolor paints from scratch. Once you know the process, you’ll never be limited to store-bought colors again. We'll even cover specialty paints like metallic and color shift.
-
Each attendee receives all the ingredients and tools needed to create 14 custom half pans of watercolor paint. You’ll get a metal travel palette with 14 half pans, ready to be filled with your custom colors and refilled as needed—perfect for artists who want a personalized, long-lasting set.
-
A Full Creative Day: With six hours of guided instruction, you’ll have plenty of time to make your paints, test them on watercolor paper, and create your own mini artworks like cards or bookmarks. If you're new to watercolor, basic techniques will be covered before we start our project pieces.
-
All Skill Levels Welcome: Whether you’re an experienced artist or brand new to watercolors, this workshop is designed for everyone.
- Only 10 Seats: Ensuring plenty of workspace and individual attention.
In this full day workshop, we’ll spend the first half making our own watercolors from scratch—learning how to mix a binder, blend it with pigments, and test the results to create rich, vibrant colors that can be used again and again. Who knows? You might even get hooked on making your own paints at home.
We'll provide a list of items and ingredients needed, a recipe and proportions.
After a lunch break, we’ll put your new colors to work with mini artworks. Choose from making cards and/or bookmarks - both great ways to explore your custom palette. If you’re new to watercolor, I’ll cover some basic techniques before we dive into our project pieces.
We'll provide some light snacks or you are welcome to bring a lunch or go out and come back.
We filled the full day the last time I ran this workshop! It was honestly one of my favorites!
