Upcoming Classes & Forest Bathing!

Workshops and classes are over for the year, but it’s not too early to start thinking about 2020 — they make great gifts! I’m already looking forward to sharing new techniques in the Mixed Media Winter Session; classes start on Thursday, January 16, and run for 6 weeks. Email elizabeth@elizabethsanford.com with any questions! If you’re looking for a great introduction to watercolor painting, sign up for Watercolor Basics on January 18; all supplies are included! You can learn more here:

I’m also looking forward to diving deeper into Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) in 2020. I had a wonderful introduction to the practice during a session with Certified Guide Connie Keetle in September at Sewanee, and she has 2 Forest Bathing & Painting Response workshops scheduled in 2020 at St. Mary’s Sewanee! One is in May, and the other’s in September. You can learn more here:

Fun with Fall Classes and Workshops!

Fall’s a great time to take a class and learn something new! After a summer break, my Mixed Media class at Plaza starts up again on Thursday, September 12, for an 8-week session. If you’re looking for a workshop, you can join us for Natural Abstractions on September 14 or experiment with some of my favorite pouring and puddling techniques in a special 2-day workshop on September 28 & 29.  Wonderful things can happen if you use lots of water and let the painting dry overnight, so come explore Adventures in Mixed Media!
