Discover the transformative power of making your own crystal and gemstone watercolors. This workshop opens us up to the possibility of making our own unique and signature paints, from minerals and gemstones, sourced here in Arizona. Together we will build our own unique palette of paints and explore the stunning effects of handmade crystal paints though a guided experience.
 
This process creates stunning flowing effects, granulation and  unique integrations, not seen in traditional watercolor paints. At a metaphysical level, every paint holds the unique energy and properties of the crystal itself. It is equally science, geology, chemistry and alchemy all at once. Come and explore the power of earth’s most beautiful gifts.
Everything you need is included, from pigments, gemstone dusts, paper, and finishing supplies!
 
You will not only leave with your own signature paints, but a sense of creative victory with finished, ready to hang artwork.
