ABOUT THE EVENT
Making time for creativity and community is something we don't often prioritize but is so beneficial to our well-being. Join New York Times bestselling cookbook author and illustrator of The Forest Feast cookbooks, Erin Gleeson, for an interactive evening of painting and conversation. Inspired by her latest book, The Watercolor Feast, we will learn to paint beautiful local produce inspired by our preschool garden and beyond while sipping wine or tea. Even if you've never painted before, invite a friend and join us for a relaxing evening of watercolor, creativity and community.
ABOUT THE BOOK
From the New York Times bestselling author Erin Gleeson comes a beginner-friendly watercolor book with techniques, ways to get creative and watercolor paper at the back of the book to practice on.
Erin's vibrantly designed cookbooks have transported readers to her beautiful cabin in the woods of Northern California for years, and now she reveals how to re-create her signature watercolor illustrations.
Even artists new to watercolor painting can follow the simple step-by-step instructions in the book's 40 fun, easy and beautiful tutorials.
Learn how to hand-letter in watercolor; paint an array of specific fruits, vegetables and flowers; and create beautiful menus, place settings and other designs to display in your home or at your next dinner party. Erin also introduces us to three of her favorite watercolor artists, with distinct and lovely styles for further inspiration.
The book concludes with eight pages of watercolor paper so that you can test your new skills. For anyone who is looking for an easy way to make a little time in your life for creativity, Watercolor Feast is a charming introductory guide to painting that celebrates the beauty of food and the natural world.
