Watercolor Journaling: A Gentle, Guided Practice

Led by Paulina Hoong · Menmin Made

Beginner Friendly All Levels Welcome 3 Hours

About This Workshop

This workshop is a slow, low-pressure introduction to watercolor journaling using simple shapes, color, and light reflection. Rather than focusing on drawing skill or finished paintings, we'll use watercolor as a way to notice what's present — visually, quietly, and without overthinking.

We'll work through a small number of guided exercises that build naturally on one another, moving from loose color exploration to subtle layering and closure. Writing is optional throughout; a single word, phrase, or no words at all is always welcome.

The emphasis is on process over product, and on creating pages that feel honest rather than polished.
