Hi, I’m Elena — I’m so glad you’re here. Watercolor & Words was created as a soft place to land. A space for people who want to make art and write not to impress, but to feel, to slow down, and to reconnect with themselves through creativity. This community blends gentle watercolor practice with reflective writing and poetry. You don’t need experience. You don’t need the “right” supplies. You don’t need to share anything you’re not ready to. All you need is curiosity and permission to meet yourself where you are. Inside this space, you’ll find: - Simple watercolor lessons (florals, leaves, intuitive painting) - Writing & poetry prompts rooted in emotion and lived experience - Encouragement, softness, and creative community - A pace that honors rest, life, and nervous systems There is no pressure to be productive here. No expectation to perform or perfect. You’re welcome to observe quietly, participate when you feel ready, and take what you need. ✨ If you’d like, introduce yourself in the comments: - Your name - What brought you here - One word for how you’re feeling lately - A picture of your workspace (if you feel like sharing) I’m really grateful you found your way here. You belong in this space. — Elena 🤍
