Painted with Love: Handmade Watercolor Valentine’s

Painted with Love: Handmade Watercolor Valentine’s Cards

Skip the store-bought cards this Valentine’s Day and create something heartfelt by hand.

In this relaxed, beginner-friendly watercolor workshop, you’ll paint 3–5 original Valentine’s Day cards using loose washes, simple florals, abstract hearts, and expressive line work. No drawing or watercolor experience is needed — this class is about slowing down, enjoying the process, and creating something meaningful.

Teresa Cook will guide you through easy watercolor techniques, provide inspiration prompts, and help you add personal details like lettering, symbols, or soft decorative accents. You’ll leave with finished cards ready to gift (or keep!), plus envelopes and the confidence to keep painting at home.

This workshop is perfect for:
• Couples looking for a creative date night
• Friends celebrating Galentine’s
• Moms and teens
• Anyone who loves meaningful, handmade gifts

All supplies are included. Just bring yourself and enjoy a cozy, creative Valentine’s experience.

✨ Come paint love, your way.
