In my cozy Salt Spring Island studio, surrounded by plants, warm lighting, and the comfort of a hot beverage, we’ll gather weekly to explore nature’s wonders through watercolour. Using richly pigmented Daniel Smith paints crafted with earth elements like gemstones we’ll connect with the natural world in a meaningful, tactile way.
