Holiday Botanicals: A Beginner Watercolor Class

Spend four Thursday mornings at Petite exploring the beauty of watercolor, inspired by autumn florals and winter greenery.

In this four week series, Elena will introduce the foundations of watercolor painting, including brushwork, color mixing, washes, and layering. Working from seasonal botanicals, you'll learn to capture the delicate colors, shapes, and textures of nature through guided demonstrations and hands on practice.

Perfect for beginners or those returning to watercolor, our small class setting allows for plenty of individual instruction and time to develop your skills at a comfortable pace. Along the way, you'll create beautiful seasonal paintings that can be turned into hand painted cards, place cards, or small works to frame or give as gifts.

Come enjoy a little creative time for yourself during the holiday season. All materials are included and will be waiting for you at the studio.

Whether you’re new to making art or finding your way back after a long break, this one’s for the creative little girl waiting in the wings of a busy woman’s life.

MEET ELENA

We’re so happy to have Elena teaching at Petite. Elena is an incredibly talented artist and a truly wonderful human who cares deeply about creativity, connection, and creating spaces where people feel comfortable being themselves.

Elena believes creativity is our birthright, and that making art is about much more than mastering materials. It is a way to connect with ourselves, trust our instincts, and find joy in the creative process. Her classes at Petite offer a beautiful space to reconnect with your creative self and make art part of your own wellness practice.

We are so grateful to Elena for bringing this thoughtful approach to our studio and cannot wait for you to experience one of her classes. Read More…

Steep + Sketch is a cozy studio hour just for adults. Think of it as a chance to slow down for a bit on a Wednesday evening, make something with your hands, and enjoy a quieter part of the day.

Pour a mug of warm tea, settle in, and choose something from our art menu. We'll have a selection of materials and creative prompts ready to explore, with plenty of room to follow your own ideas. Create at your own pace while our adult art instructor, Elena, is nearby if you'd like encouragement, a technique tip, or help getting started.

On your first visit, you'll receive a Petite sketchbook to keep. Bring it back each month and watch it slowly fill with ideas, experiments, and artwork that's uniquely yours.
