Just Picture It: Fun With Watercolors

Today, I'm heading to West Virginia to teach a watercolor workshop for the lovely ladies attending Kimberly Wilson's "Tranquility Summer Camp" retreat. In preparation for this creativity "module," I had a lot of fun creating sample materials--a "playing with techniques" reference sheet (above), some watercolor pattern-making samples (below), and a bunch of other fun samples of how to layer the paints and play with techniques (also below). One of my favorite activities is teaching people how to do something new--especially something that helps them get in touch with their creative side--so I couldn't be more excited for today!

On a separate but related note, while sipping on my cup of tea this morning, I noticed that my tea tag said the following, " Work, but don't forget to live." Thanks, Yogi tea! What a beautiful reminder. 

So here's to hoping that I don't get lost driving out to W.V. and miss the entire workshop today (my sense of direction is *slightly* lacking...)!

I hope you have a colorful and inspiring day.

Namaste,
Mary Catherine
