Classes
Making watercolors
the natural way
Learn how to make watercolor paints from rocks and minerals that can be foraged from the natural environment. Making paint connects you to the materials, land, and creative process in a deeper way. Natural paints take on a different character and personality than that of commercial paints. You’ll discover that there is a vast spectrum of personalities within the natural elements of the earth that can be explored through the process of paintmaking.

“I loved the creativity I found through watercolor and the nice perspective that Julie provided in how to think about our colors in our limited (5 color) palette. How to connect color with people, emotions, memories, etc. We actually started off with a contemplation of what we daydream about. This provided a refreshing approach that led to an intention of freedom.”
