Conversations in Paint
at Drawing Room
A watercolor exchange of technique, imagination, and shared story
Why Conversations in Paint at Drawing Room?
-
Learn the joys of watercolor and water-soluble mediums
In this watercolor workshop, we explore technique through personal myth and shared imagination. You’ll learn all the fundamental watercolor techniques—then bring them to life by painting a meaningful object, real or imagined.
Afterward, the objects will be swapped at random, inviting you to reinterpret someone else’s treasure through your own hand. Each round becomes a conversation in color and form. At the end, objects are returned to their original owners—each now seen through multiple perspectives.
-
Professional instruction & care
This workshop is led by artist and educator Ray Hwang, and thoughtfully developed from his own painting practice and passion for community-building.
Ray believes creativity is an open door—for connection, reflection, and play—and brings that spirit into every session. Expect beginner-friendly guidance, live demos, and steady support throughout.

Emphasis on connection
Conversations in Paint is more than a workshop—it’s a chance to slow down, explore, and connect through creativity. At Drawing Room, we believe making art is more meaningful when shared. Come solo or with friends—you’ll be welcomed into a warm, playful space where everyone’s perspective adds to the experience.
