Discover the joy of watercolor painting and enjoy a relaxing session in a friendly small group!
  
• The group will meet live on Zoom on Tuesdays for a chat & paint. There will be time for live demonstration, painting practice, and discussion. Not able to join live? No problem! A video recording will be provided each week.
