What is a watercolor tea party?

Inspired by paint and sip parties, I wanted to offer an alternative.

Instead of acrylic paints -> watercolors, and instead of wine -> herbal teas (though if you prefer wine, bring it along!).

In addition, you are the host. In the comfort of your own home with your family and/or friends, I will come to you. (Newark, DE and surrounding areas)

Who am I?

My name is Mary Ellen, and I'm passionate about creating and absolutely love the freedom that watercolor provides.

I believe we are all here to create!

Creativity is innately in all of us, sometimes we just need a little reminder and that’s what I’m here for. I hope to act as a catalyst to not only inspire your love for watercolors, but for you to remember that you are a co-creator here on this earth, all while we enjoy some herbal tea to soothe the nervous system.

Meet your guide to watercolor painting, herbal teas and unlocking our creativity together.

Looking for a creative night in with friends?

Together we will go over the basics of watercolor and experiment with techniques I learned from artist Ana Victoria Calderon.

Our first project will be the jellyfish as taught by Calderon. The project incorporates a variety of techniques that will allow you to expand your skills into your future projects.

Additional Details:

I have a 6 ft folding table I can bring if we need more table space.

I will provide a table cloth to ensure a clean space after class is over.

I am also available to teach children. For any additional questions, please send me an email. I look forward to getting in touch.
