       Stories in WatercolorIn this watercolor workshop, we explore technique through personal myth and shared observation. You’ll learn all the fundamental watercolor techniques—then bring them to life by painting a meaningful personal object. Afterward, the objects will be swapped, 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.

At Drawing Room, we believe creativity is a lifelong practice of learning, noticing, and curiosity, and that it’s more meaningful when shared. Whether you come solo or with friends, you’ll be welcomed into a warm, playful space where everyone’s perspective adds to the experience.
