Unplug & Create: Level Up Your Art: Modern Watercolor for Tweens & Teens with Chloe & Ash

Level Up Your Art: Modern Watercolor for Tweens & Teens

Think watercolors are just for little kids? Think again. We’re taking those classic green plastic trays and unlocking their hidden potential to create stunning, vibrant, and totally Instagram-worthy artwork.

In this hands-on workshop designed specifically for tweens and teens (ages 11–17), we will be using everyday Crayola® Watercolors to master professional painting techniques. You don't need expensive, high-end supplies to make incredible art—you just need the right skills. We’ll show you how to turn budget-friendly paints into rich gradients, moody landscapes, and bold pop art.

What You’ll Learn & Do:

  • Hack Your Paints: Discover the secret to mixing Crayola's classic pigments to create trendy pastel, earth-tone, and moody color palettes you didn't think were possible.

  • Pro Watercolor Techniques: Master the essential skills that every professional artist uses, including:

    • Wet-on-Wet: For seamless color blending and dreamy sky effects.

    • Wet-on-Dry: For crisp, sharp details and layering.

    • Glazing & Lifting: How to build depth and fix mistakes like a pro.

  • Texture & Special Effects: Experiment with everyday household items like salt, rubbing alcohol, and painter's tape to create mind-blowing textures, galaxy effects, and clean geometric lines.

  • Take-Home Masterpiece: Walk away with a finished, high-quality piece of art ready to frame or hang in your room.
