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

Good for a small to medium dog
Color: Squirrels (3-pack)
These replacement ones were bigger than anticipated but work well for my small dog. Pretty durable (and she likes to destroy toys)

Perfect Toy for the Picky Dogs!
Color: Squirrels (3-pack)
These are replacement squirrels. I had these for my own dogs. When I noticed how much enjoyment they got out of them, I purchased them as gifts. My brother’s 20 lb dog is so picky, but I took a chance. The squirrel toys are the only ones he plays with. According to my brother, his dog ignores treats and toys, but loves the squirrels. A friend of mine said the same thing. She also has small dogs, 25 lb & 30 lb. They preferred the squirrels. This toy is not for big dogs. Unless they’re gentle, they will probably be torn apart very quickly. They are very easy to chew on, the squeak isn’t loud, there’s no smell and very entertaining!

Dog Approved
Color: Squirrels (3-pack)
The toys are soft but well made, and my dog really likes that they squeak. He loves carrying them around and hunting for them when I hide them.

Super Sturdy with hours of fun.
Color: Wild Duck, Hare, Squirrel & Alligator, Size: Small
I got the small ones that you cannot put a water bottle in. These toys have held up way better than expected. I am dog sitting a very rough with toys dog named Chunk. He tears up ever. Single. Toy my dog (Ted) has. I bought new ones just for chunk. These appealed to me with the no stuffing, They were cheaper, and have a squeaker. Everything chunk needed. They arrived on time and I thought I wasted my money. They were super soft, like too soft. They felt flimsy and weak. Like 5 minutes with chunk and they be dead. 2 hours with my dog and they would have a rip. So far 2 of them (I set two out) have lasted the whole weekend. The bunny looks very rough and disgusting, but no rips, the squeakers still work, and no random fluff everywhere. I am going to wash the bunny once chunk leaves. My very careful doggo Ted loves them too. He throws them up in the air and catches them, plays tug of war with them, and no rips. They are super sturdy. He can’t wait until Chunk leaves (chunk is 2 and Ted is 12-13) so he can play with them.
