Contact 202-483-8600 ext. 209 or email programs@smithcenter.org \n\n\n\n\nWherever you are on life’s journey\, there are times when it can feel impossible to commit to a recurring program like a workshop series. Radical Writing Space is our answer to this conundrum of wanting to attend for some radical self-care\, but struggling to commit. \nClinical studies have documented the healing psychological and psychical impacts of writing within a safe and sacred space. On the second Friday of each month\, drop in for one hour for Radical Writing Space and join us for inspiring writing prompts\, time to write\, and time to share with one another about your experience of putting your most radical emotions\, feelings\, and experiences on paper. \nThe part that makes this writing so “radical” is that we create a safe space for it all — raw feelings\, emotions\, experiences — and\, together\, we give voice to them in a supportive\, nonjudgmental environment. \nThis healing program offers a place for supporting one another and we stay clear of writing critique. Come and experience writing and sharing together.

This fall\, Liz will introduce basic watercolor concepts and techniques for application in landscape painting. \nThose new to watercolor may choose to just play with the ideas and techniques that Liz introduces. Others who are more advanced may decide to work on a painting of their own inspiration or from slides that Liz shares during the class \nWe will paint\, listen to soothing music and share our creations. There will be opportunities to ask questions during and at the end of the session. \nBring yourself and your favorite painting supplies. (Also see suggested materials below). \nFrom Liz: I  highly recommend that you have a 9×12 inch cold pressed Arches watercolor block or larger. The pages are adhered to the block and allow for wet in wet washes essential to watercolor landscapes so that the paper does not warp. If you just have a watercolor sketch pad or loose sheets of watercolor paper it will be very difficult to accomplish the washes and techniques I am introducing. I also recommend that you have the type and size brushes recommended in the announcement for this session. \nThis program will be offered monthly on the following Mondays: \n\nNovember 10\nDecember  15\n\n**Limited to 12 participants \nSome Suggested Materials*: \nBelow is a list supplies from Cheap Joes www.cheapjoes.com (Liz’s favorite place to purchase watercolor supplies. Prices are generally 40% off store prices and are of high quality). High quality watercolor supplies are needed to achieve many watercolor effects. \n\nArches Watercolor Pads (9×12” cold pressed or size of your choice  Quality watercolor paper is essential for the best wet on wet effects and Arches is a high quality but reasonably priced paper. I recommend the pad for testing and experimentation while the block is essential for wet on wet paintings.
