October Concept: Noticing Change — Botanical Shifts Across Seasons
This session invites us to slow down and observe the quiet transformations happening in nature — the colors fading or blooming, the textures shifting, and the shapes of leaves and petals changing with the season. Whether you’re surrounded by the warm tones of autumn or the tender greens of spring, we’ll use our sketchbooks to honor these transitions.
Through watercolor and simple mixed media, we’ll explore botanical forms as a metaphor for change — noticing, accepting, and celebrating the cycles around and within us.
Also I thought in these prompts:
What changes do I notice in the natural world around me?
How do these changes mirror something shifting inside me?
What colors, shapes, or patterns represent this moment of transition?
If you’d like, bring along a short text, poem, or song that feels meaningful to you, please do! We’ll use it as inspiration for the journaling.
✨ No experience needed — just curiosity, patience, and a willingness to slow down.
