Colors of Fall: Watercoloring at Forest Park

Slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature through mindful observation and watercolor at Forest Park! Join us at Forest Park for a peaceful outdoor watercoloring experience inspired by the beauty of the season. We'll gather in the park, get comfortable, and take a moment to observe what's around us—the changing leaves, warm autumn colors, trees, textures, light, and landscape. You'll then use those observations as inspiration for your own watercolor painting. Learn different types of watercolor techniques to help guide you through your painting experience. We encourage you to paint what you see, how the season makes you feel, or simply experiment with colors. Whether you're new to watercolor or already enjoy painting, you're welcome to come create, relax, and experience fall in a different way. Any level of painter's are welcome! Come relax and enjoy nature's fall colors while painting with watercolors. What to Bring 🍂🎨 Please come prepared to get comfortable, relax, and create outdoors! Comfortable seating — a folding chair, blanket, or outdoor cushion; there are park benches nearby! Water bottle Weather-appropriate clothing — layers are recommended for fall weather Comfortable shoes Sun protection — sunscreen, sunglasses, or a hat A light snack, if desired Your creativity and an open mind! Watercolor supplies will be provided, so you don't need to bring your own art materials. If you have favorite watercolor supplies you'd like to use, you're welcome to bring them.
