Watercolor Mushroom - September 18th - 6PM
Whimsical Watercolor Mushroom Class Come spend a couple of hours slowing down, creating something beautiful, and enjoying the simple joy of watercolor. Together we’ll paint this charming woodland mushroom step by step in a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere where everyone is welcome. Whether this is your very first watercolor or you’ve painted before, I’ll guide you through every brushstroke with easy-to-follow instruction, helpful tips, and plenty of encouragement along the way. You’ll learn how to create soft washes, add texture and depth, and bring your mushroom to life with loose, expressive watercolor techniques. No experience is necessary, and all supplies are included. Just come as you are and enjoy a creative evening filled with beauty, conversation, and a little bit of wonder. My hope is that you’ll leave not only with a painting you love, but also feeling refreshed, encouraged, and inspired to keep creating. I can’t wait to paint with you! All supplies are included. No experience necessary. DATE: Friday, September 18th TIME: 6:00 PM LENGTH: 2 Hours Jess O’Brien is a Colorado watercolor artist, muralist, and teacher whose passion is helping others discover the joy of creativity. As the owner of Abide Scripts, she creates original watercolor paintings inspired by the beauty of nature and the truth of God’s Word, with the hope of bringing peace, encouragement, and beauty into everyday life. Entirely self-taught, Jess has spent more than a decade developing her signature loose watercolor style and has taught hundreds of students—from intimate gatherings in local coffee shops to large community events. She believes watercolor isn’t about perfection; it’s about slowing down, embracing the process, and finding delight in creating. Known for her warm, encouraging teaching style, Jess makes every class approachable for beginners while giving experienced artists new techniques to explore. Her step-by-step instruction, genuine enthusiasm, and welcoming personality help students leave with not only a painting they’re proud of, but also the confidence to keep creating. When she’s not painting, Jess enjoys spending time with her husband, their three children, and finding inspiration in Colorado’s beautiful landscapes. Through every class and every painting, her desire is simple: to create beauty, encourage others, and remind people to slow down and notice the wonder around them.
