About the Workshop:
Ever walked the streets of your neighborhood with a tiny paintbrush?
Over the past decade, Kirsten has discovered that watercoloring small city blocks is a meditative, thoughtful practice—one that deepens your connection to place. Through color mixing and pattern, you’ll bring your neighborhood to life in a way that’s both relaxing and creatively fulfilling.
Using Kirsten’s hand-drawn map templates, you’ll spend the evening painting your chosen neighborhood, watching it slowly emerge block by block. It’s a process that invites you to slow down, get inspired, and create something truly meaningful—together, in community.
What’s Included:
A watercolor map template (8x10", 9x12", or 11x14" depending on your selection)
A pointed watercolor brush
Two palettes + watercolor paint to mix and take home
Step-by-step instruction for painting at this detailed scale
A special take-home gift from Turn-of-the-Centuries
