Watercolour Wednesday is a weekly, in-person series at the Grove Gallery designed to celebrate creativity, build confidence, and nurture self-expression through the fluid and playful medium of watercolour. Over 5 sessions, you’ll explore seasonal themes, guided exercises, and open studio time in a relaxed and encouraging environment hosted by local Artist Adrianna Miranda.

Whether you’re brand new to watercolour or returning with experience, this series invites you to practice without pressure, play without fear, and create without judgment. 

Main Focus:

• Identity & Self-Expression – Discover your unique visual voice
  
• Exploration & Experimentation – Try new techniques, tools, and approaches
  
• Creative Nurturing – Build your skills and your confidence
  
• Fearless Making – Let go of perfection and embrace the joy of the process
  

Each session is a space to connect—with your art, your community, and yourself. All skill levels are welcome and encouraged!

Each session costs $25 per participant with all supplies included, or you can bring your own supplies for $10 drop-in!

October 1st – Making Marks – Introduction & Exploration 

Theme: “There are no mistakes, only brushstrokes.”

October 8th – Colour & Emotion – Your Inner Palette

Theme: “What does joy look like? What about sadness?”
Learn how colour communicates emotion. Build your own “mood palette” and experiment with abstract or intuitive painting rooted in personal feeling.
