Watercolor Workshop

Join watercolor artist Jean Choe for a cozy and festive workshop at Gamble Garden, where we’ll slow down and paint a lush holiday bouquet featuring poinsettias, evergreen sprigs, and pinecones. This class is designed to feel relaxed and welcoming, whether you come with a friend or on your own. It’s a chance to step away from the busy holiday pace, spend time creating with your hands, and share a quiet, joyful experience with others. Jean will gently guide you along the way, making the process enjoyable for all levels. A pre-sketched watercolor page will be provided so you can focus on painting right away. All materials supplied. Suitable for ages 13 and up. Bring yourself (and a friend or family member), and enjoy a creative winter morning at Gamble Garden.
