Not a class.
A refuge.
When life gets loud — work, stress, all the things — the first thing that disappears is time for yourself. This is two hours just for you.

Does this sound familiar?
You're not stuck.
You're overwhelmed.
That voice that says "not good enough, not yet, what will they think", it didn't start with you. And it shows up everywhere. Not just in art.
The paralysing inner critic
An idea sits in your head for months. You wait for the perfect moment that never comes.
Stress that doesn't go away
Always on. Work, decisions, the feeling you should be doing more, even on weekends.
Emotions you can't name
Something sits in your chest. Not sadness, not anxiety exactly. Just weight, and no outlet.
You stopped doing things just for you
Everything has a purpose, a deadline. The last time you did something purely for yourself?
Perfectionism that blocks you
You want it done right, but right keeps moving. Projects stall, decisions drag.
A voice from somewhere else
A parent, a teacher. You've outgrown the moment, but the voice is still loud.
Why watercolor
The medium that teaches you to let go.
Watercolor is water. And water does what it wants.
Unlike other media where you can control every stroke, watercolor forces you to work with the unexpected. A drop bleeds past the line. A colour blooms in a direction you didn't plan. You can't undo it, you can only respond.
That "mistake" you didn't choose? It becomes part of the painting. And slowly, something shifts, you stop fighting what you can't control, and start working with it instead.
"Watercolor trains the brain to abandon rigid, perfectionist thinking patterns, and carry that flexibility into everyday life."
What past attendees say
Real people.
Real afternoons.
"I came stressed from a hectic work week. I left feeling like I'd taken a long breath I didn't know I needed."
"I haven't painted since I was a kid. Juli made me feel like there was no wrong way to do this."
"Two hours flew by. I didn't think about emails once. That alone was worth it."
"I cried a little, laughed a lot, and went home with a painting I actually love, not just because it's beautiful, but because of what I felt while doing it."

Your host
Hi, I'm Juli.
I'm a Colombian artist and UX designer based in Medellín. I studied industrial design, and spent over four years teaching graphic design and illustration, both analogue and digital.
Painting has always been my constant. Not my career, my refuge. The place I go when life gets heavy and words aren't enough. And now, I want to share my paintings with you.
This workshop isn't about technique. It's about reconnecting with something you've been putting off, yourself.
