 Watercolor is a luminous and expressive medium that invites creativity and exploration. In this course, students will continue to develop foundational watercolor techniques—including wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, color mixing, and composition—while adding a new dimension: drawing. Basic drawing concepts will be introduced and practiced to help students create more realistic and refined watercolor paintings. With guided instruction and hands-on exercises, you'll gain the confidence and skills to bring your artistic vision to life. Let your imagination flourish as you blend drawing and watercolor into vibrant, dynamic works of art.
This course will assume some familiarity with watercolor basics such as wet-on-wet, dry brush techniques, color mixing, and brushwork, as these will not be the primary focus of instruction. If you’re new to watercolor, we recommend starting with Watercolor Foundations: A Two-Week Workshop, where these foundational skills are taught.
Take a look at some pictures from Jackie Meier's past classes here.

 Please join Page Knox for a walk through the Metropolitan Museum of Art's iconic Nineteenth Century wing, and witness the evolution of Impressionism. Beginning with Romantics like Eugene Delacroix and the Barbizon landscape painters, the collection reveals the rise of the avant-garde in the 1800s. We'll see how the work of realist Gustave Courbet and proto-Impressionist Edouard Manet leads to the creation of the movement with its beloved artists Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Berthe Morisot. As the century ends, we'll witness the rise of Post Impressionism, with iconic works by Vincent Van Gogh, Georges Seurat, and Paul Cezanne, as they lay the foundations for modern art. PLEASE NOTE:

 Across cultures and throughout history, people have turned to plants for healing, regulation, and connection. In this hands-on, interactive session, participants will explore the foundations of plant care alongside the therapeutic benefits of engaging with nature. Together, we’ll discuss how plants can support cognitive function, mood/regulation, and overall well-being, while introducing simple plant therapy practices that encourage mindfulness and personal growth.
This workshop will teach practical care techniques through direct experience, passing around a variety of indoor plants, and troubleshooting common challenges such as root rot, yellowing leaves, overwatering, and pruning. Each participant will select, water, and label a plant to take home, building confidence in nurturing living things beyond the workshop.
Towards the end of the session, we’ll have a guided reflective activity, “The Nervous System Tree,” a mindful drawing practice that invites participants to explore questions of grounding, growth, and self-care through creative expression. Participants will leave with their own plant, practical skills, and a deeper sense of horticulture therapy and how our connection to the natural world can enhance our connection to ourselves and one another. No prior plant or art experience is required.
A calm, welcoming space to learn, connect, and grow, with plants and with each other.
