SOLD OUT! 🎨 Ever feel like watercolor has a mind of its own?
We’ve all been there—trying to paint a simple leaf and ending up with a brown puddle. But what if the "accidents" were actually the best part?

Join me in East Tennessee for the Saturday Morning Art Club on March 21st! We’re taking the stress out of the brush and leaning into the magic of texture.

✨ What’s on the menu?
We’re not just "painting flowers." We’re experimenting like scientists! You’ll get a hands-on guide to 9 unique techniques, including:

The Household Secrets: Using salt, alcohol, and even coffee to create textures you can’t get with a brush alone.

The Modern Look: Mastering Line & Wash and Wax Resist for that crisp, professional finish.

The "Secret Sauce": Learning how to use cellophane for organic, abstract shapes.

🌿 From Practice to Project
Once you’ve mastered your worksheet (see below!), we’ll combine those textures into a gorgeous, Abstract Botanical piece. It’s foolproof, relaxing, and looks stunning on a gallery wall.

No experience? No problem. This is all about play, not perfection.

📅 When: Saturday, March 21,2026
📍 Where: Special Growers Art Studio, Maryville, TN
