Making Your Own Natural Plant-Based Watercolor Palette - Session 1

Friday April 10, 2026 1:00pm - 3:00pm PDT

C-Street Board Room

Bring the colors of nature straight to your sketchbook! In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to create their own watercolor paints using pigments sourced from plants and natural materials. Together we’ll prepare simple stock solutions and then use pre-extracted pigments to grind, mull, and bind our own watercolor paints. Each participant will leave with a small, handmade palette of natural colors to continue exploring at home. This workshop is a practical introduction to natural color-making—no science required, just curiosity and a love of color!
