Drop in for a half day of creative inspiration and connection to nature during the peak of Spring in the Roaring Fork Valley! This workshop is designed to empower your creative spirit and nourish your connection to nature in the most abundant season of the year. We will cover watercolor painting fundamentals, how we perceive ourselves creatively and what makes us come alive in nature through journaling and meditation. We will begin in downtown Carbondale (location to be announced.) The second half of the workshop will be at a nearby trailhead or natural area (1-5 miles away depending upon conditions). Only a short walk will be required. We will be using our time to relax into the landscape and ourselves.
In the event of rain or other weather, the workshop will relocate to Sarah’s Jailhouse studio in downtown Carbondale.
No previous painting experience necessary.

about the paints…
Greenleaf Blueberry Paints are hand made on the Western slope of Colorado using natural pigments and materials. These paints are truly spectacular and made with incredible care, suited for the traveling artist. All workshop and retreat attendees will be given a custom pallet of paints from Greenleaf Blueberry.
about the colorado alpine…
I moved to Western Colorado because the alpine kingdoms fo the Rocky Mountains made my heart light up with fire. My artistic mojo is intrinsically tied to the high country that surrounds me in this part of the world. I am excited to share some of my favorite places with you during my single day workshops and seasonal retreats!
