Description: Discover how one simple autumn leaf can inspire a season of creative exploration. In this three-session series, students will revisit the same subject through mindful drawing, expressive watercolor, and a final mixed-media exploration that brings both practices together.

The series begins with mindful drawing, using repeated patterns and the simple shape of a leaf to encourage slow observation and relaxed mark-making. In the second session, students will explore watercolor through color mixing, flowing pigments, shimmering Aurora colors, and the unexpected textures created by water and salt. The final session combines these experiences, pairing expressive watercolor leaves with mindful drawing in the surrounding negative space.

Designed for all skill levels, this series emphasizes curiosity, observation, and enjoying the creative process rather than creating a perfect finished piece. With gentle guidance and plenty of opportunities to experiment, students will discover how revisiting a familiar subject can spark new ideas, build confidence, and deepen appreciation for both drawing and watercolor. Participants will take home artwork from each session along with creative approaches they can continue exploring long after the series ends.
