Hosted by Raquel from Restore Arts and Adventures

Welcome to the Dragonfly Paint Session

Thank you for being here today and taking time to slow down, create, and connect through art. This session is designed to be a relaxing and welcoming creative experience. There is no pressure for your painting to look a certain way, the goal is simply to enjoy the process, explore creativity, and start the day with mindfulness and self-expression.

Livestream / Paint Along
