“Nature is about to show us how beautiful it is to let go.” - unknown

Painting fall leaves is a very meditative and peaceful process. I have always loved and admired the colors of fall and the changing leaves. Over the years, I have observed, photographed, and painted them. When I lived in Miami, Florida, my dad would mail me the fall leaves. I could smell them the moment I got the envelope~ each one a treasure. Now as a mother, my children teach me how to revel in their magic whether magically floating in the air by a spiders web or the crunching sound they make. Fall is a perfect time to slow down, observe, and reflect.

This workshop will include:

• Reflection questions about your life inspired by the wisdom of leaves

•. Creative exercises to break through blocks and stories that don’t serve us (like “I am not an artist.”)

• Tips and skills to paint leaves

• Space for connection

It is designed with a beginner watercolor artist in mind.

“What I loved most about the leaves workshop was the space to just play and bask in the joy of creating art without the pressure of feeling like I needed a master a brand new skill or arrive at a finished product. I loved the space to just DO ART… it left me feeling so inspired to try more things for the sake of the happiness it may bring me!” - Andrea Rice
