Saturday, July 18, 11:00am - 12:30pm PT This is an online workshop held via Zoom. Mother Nature continues to be one of our best muses! Butterflies have been a popular motif historically in art and design, perhaps for their fleeting beauty and fragility, and watercolour is the perfect medium to explore their iridescent wings. In this session we’ll be studying butterflies & moths and observing their wide range of patterns and textures - their symmetry allows for repetition and practicing techniques.

We're so excited to offer a curated, rotating selection of our handmade watercolors in Art Toolkit's cutest mini pans, so you can build your own ultra-portable set! Seconds quality means there are some deeper cracks in the paint, and the pans might be filled slightly low—or maybe a bit too high! These variations do not affect the integrity of the paint. The Art Toolkit Pocket Palette can fit up to 24 mini pans; the Demi Palette can fit up to 12. The mini pans are exactly half the length of Art Toolkit's standard pans, so you can mix-and-match sizes in your palette!

CfM Oxalis captures the cheery yellow of the California wildflower also known as Woodsorrel, which Bay Area locals might remember from childhood as Sourgrass. Here in San Francisco, Oxalis seems to pop up from every available patch of soil in mid-February, and we wanted to celebrate this annual harbinger of spring! Oxalis flowers make a wonderful, potent natural yellow dye, and CfM Oxalis was inspired by the flower and the slightly more orange dye bath.
