The Creative House of Lancaster

When: Thursdays at 6-7pm (weekly, drop-in)
Where: WestArt
Cost: $15 per person (materials included)
Ages: Adults & teens

A low-pressure, watercolor play time. Leaning into intuitive painting, it’s about expressing from within. Come as you are, grab your favorite supplies, and explore color, gesture, and mood. I offer simple prompts and intuitive guidance to help you loosen up and discover your own abstract style. Absolutely no experience needed.
What to expect:

• Short warm-ups to get out of your head
• Guided prompts for expressive, intuitive painting
• Tips on color, composition, and letting go of “perfect”
• A relaxed studio vibe. Drop in and make at your own pace

What to bring:

• Your favorite materials if you have some (no oil paint, please). I’ll also have brushes, paints, water cups, and paper available.
• Clothes you don’t mind getting paint on
• A rag or two

All levels welcome — just bring yourself and a willingness to play. I hope to see you there!
