Watercolor Workshops

  • A table with watercolor paints and paintings

Slow down with us.

Step away from your to-do list and into a peaceful evening of creativity.

These workshops are designed for beginners — whether you’ve never picked up a brush or simply want a gentle refresher. You’ll learn foundational watercolor techniques in a relaxed, encouraging environment where the focus is on progress, not perfection.

We’ll move slowly, layer by layer, so you feel confident using your brush, controlling water, and mixing color. By the end of the evening, you’ll leave with a finished painting and a deeper understanding of how watercolor works.

Come on your own or invite a friend. Coffee, wine, ice cream, and small bites will be available for purchase during the event, and all painting supplies are included.

Seats are limited to 12 participants per session to ensure personal attention.

Hi, I’m Kayla

Hi, I’m Kayla — devoted wife, mom of 7, watercolor artist, writer, speaker and founder of Legacy Roots Studio, the arts branch of Legacy Roots Co.

Whether it’s teaching my watercolor workshops here in my little mountain town of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, painting custom pieces for clients all over the world, or sharing my favorite prints with my pen pal club, I cherish the opportunity to share art with the world. I believe beauty and faith are meant to be lived and experienced slowly— in the everyday moments that shape our homes and hearts.

Each piece of art and reflection I create is meant to help you find stillness and savor what God’s placed right in front of you.
