Watercolor Journaling: A Gentle, Guided Practice
3-hour workshop · No experience needed

📍 Scrap & Sip, San Francisco
🗓 Saturday, July 5 · 12:00–3:00 PM
🎨 All materials included: Menmin Made watercolor journal, travel watercolor set, and water brush pens
👥 Limited to 10 spots


This workshop is a slow, low-pressure introduction to watercolor journaling using simple shapes, color, and light reflection. Rather than focusing on drawing skill or finished paintings, we'll use watercolor as a way to notice what's present — visually, quietly, and without overthinking.

We'll work through a small number of guided exercises that build naturally on one another, moving from loose color exploration to subtle layering and closure. Writing is optional throughout; a single word, phrase, or no words at all is always welcome.

The emphasis is on process over product, and on creating pages that feel honest rather than polished.

What We'll Do

We'll begin with Mood Blobs — choosing a few colors and letting them move freely on the page. This is a way to arrive, loosen up, and start without needing a plan.

From there, we'll explore Layered Shapes and Transparency, allowing color to build slowly. Some layers may overlap, some may fade, some may remain visible underneath. This part of the workshop focuses on noticing what's accumulating or sitting with us, without needing to explain it.

Next, we'll work with Heavy vs. Light, using contrast — darker, denser marks alongside softer washes — to visually sort what feels weighty and what feels easier or more spacious. This often brings a sense of quiet clarity without requiring emotional analysis.

We'll then experiment with Clusters, grouping small shapes together and noticing patterns. This exercise helps participants see how thoughts, moments, or impressions naturally organize themselves on the page.

Toward the end, we'll use Paint Over It as a gentle softening practice — partially obscuring a word, shape, or area — followed by One Small Addition, where each person adds a single final mark and asks, "What's enough?"

We'll close by noticing what's small but present — tiny marks, subtle colors, or quiet areas of the page — as a way of ending with attention rather than evaluation.

What This Workshop Is (and Isn't)

This is:

  • Guided, but not instructional-heavy
  • Reflective, but not therapy
  • Creative, but not about making "good art"

You don't need prior experience with watercolor or journaling. Everything is optional, and there's no pressure to share unless you want to.

Participants leave with:

  • Several completed journal pages
  • A simple, repeatable watercolor journaling process
  • A felt sense of completion and ease

Great sturdy chair and beautiful color
Color: White
I love this chair. I bought it for my home office. It is beautiful, sturdy and very comfortable. I'm not good at all with assembling even basic things but I would say that this was relatively pretty simple for someone like me to put together. Good price and good product.

Reliable, Comfortable, and Good-Looking Chair — I Keep Coming Back to It
Color: White
This is my fourth time purchasing this Amazon Basics mid-back office chair, which says a lot about its overall value. It looks clean and modern, fits well in a home office, and is genuinely comfortable for daily use. I typically get about a year and a half out of each one, which feels reasonable given the price point and materials. Out of the box, the chair is easy to assemble and immediately comfortable. The padding is supportive, the armrests are well positioned, and the faux leather gives it a more upscale appearance than many chairs in this category. It rolls smoothly, swivels easily, and works well for long computer sessions without causing back or shoulder fatigue. That said, this is not a lifetime chair. After extended use, the cushioning and structure do begin to wear, and that’s usually when I replace it. Still, considering the comfort, appearance, and cost, it remains one of the best value office chairs I’ve found — which is why I keep buying it again. Pros: • Comfortable padding and good mid-back support • Clean, modern appearance that looks great in an office • Smooth rolling and stable base • Easy assembly • Excellent value for the price Cons: • Durability is moderate; expect replacement after about 1½ years • Not designed for long-term heavy-duty use Verdict: If you want a comfortable, attractive, and affordable office chair that performs well for daily use, this is a strong choice. It may not last forever, but its comfort and value make it easy to recommend — and easy to repurchase.

Good Basic Chair with a Few Drawbacks
Color: Black
I bought this Amazon Basics office task chair for my boyfriend who works from home. Overall, it’s a decent, simple chair that gets the job done for everyday use, especially if you just need something functional and affordable. However, there are a couple of downsides. The recline doesn’t go back as much as he would like, so it’s not ideal if you prefer to lean back and relax between tasks. Also, after about a month of use, the wheels don’t glide as smoothly as they did at first, which can be a bit frustrating when rolling across the floor. Overall, it’s a solid basic chair for light use, but if you want something with a deeper recline or super smooth mobility long-term, you might want to consider other options. Still a reasonable purchase depending on your needs.
