Have you always wanted to paint beautiful watercolor landscapes but didn’t know where to start? Not sure if you’re creative enough to capture the essence of the wilderness and adventure you crave? Join Kolbie Blume, owner of Writing Desk Creative Co., for an inspirational and educational day of exploring the basics of wilderness watercolor landscapes.

No experience necessary to take this class. Whether you’ve never put brush to paper before or you’re looking to add some new techniques to your repertoire, this class is for you!

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: During this three-hour workshop, you will learn tips, tricks, and proven techniques for creating monochrome night skies and misty forest landscapes, as seen on Kolbie’s Instagram and Etsy shop, This Writing Desk.

WHAT YOU'LL MAKE: By the end of the class, you’ll walk away with two giftable 5x7 wilderness watercolor designs and the knowledge and confidence you’ll need to keep creating and developing your own style for years to come.

WHAT'S PROVIDED: In addition to hands-on, personalized instruction from Kolbie, your investment includes:

  • Two professional paint brushes

  • A travel palette with artist-grade watercolor paint perfect for wilderness paintings

  • Watercolor paper to use during the session as well as some extra to take home

  • Kolbie's (new!) wilderness watercolor workbook

  • A complete list of Kolbie’s favorite supplies and resources to continue your watercolor journey
