October Watercolor with Kristi

Beginner Watercolor: Meet Jack-O-Lantern

Watercolor can look effortless when you watch someone else do it.

Then you try it yourself and suddenly there is water everywhere, the color is running in a direction you did not authorize, and the paper has developed opinions. That is exactly why this class is designed to actually teach you watercolor.


Kristi is an experienced professional instructor who helps students understand the medium — how water and pigment work together, how to build color, how to create texture and depth, and how to make choices you can use again in future paintings.

This is more than a follow-along project. You will create a finished piece, but you will also learn techniques you can continue practicing on your own.


One of the things that makes our watercolor series a little different is that each class helps you build your own watercolor kit. At every session, participants receive a quality watercolor tool or supply to take home and add to their personal kit. Returning students may be asked to bring the supplies they have received in earlier classes so they can continue using and building that collection. So far, consistent watercolor students have 9 TOOLS already. Want to catchup? We do have some you can purchase at the Jam and build your own kit.


You do not need to purchase a complete watercolor setup before attending. It is a good idea to purchase the 50 color paint kit- it comes with brushes, and 50 colors, in a portable case- for only $20. Seriously. $20.You can take that home and practice what you learned immediately.

Your $65 registration includes:

  • Professional instruction with Kristi
  • Your watercolor project
  • Shared supplies needed for the class (if you don't have your own)
  • A quality watercolor tool or supply to take home (This month, 3 Micron pens!)
  • Guidance you can continue using outside of class

Our goal is not simply for you to leave with one finished painting.

We want you to leave understanding watercolor a little better, feeling more confident using it, and having another tool in your kit so you can keep creating at home.

Creativity Belongs to Everyone

At the Creative Jam Foundation, we believe creativity isn’t a luxury. It’s a lifeline.

It’s the kid who discovers they can make something with their own two hands.

It’s the adult who walks into a room feeling unsure and leaves saying, “I didn’t think I could do that.”

It’s Connection. Confidence. Curiosity. Play. Belonging.


The Creative Jam Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making creative experiences accessible to people of all ages, abilities, backgrounds, and income levels. Through classes, workshops, community gatherings, outreach programs, scholarships, and creative opportunities, we work to remove the barriers that keep people from participating.

And sometimes removing that barrier is as simple as being able to say:

Yes. You can come too.


Your donation helps us keep saying yes.

Donations to the Creative Jam Foundation help support things like:

  • Reduced-cost and free creative programs
  • Scholarships for people who otherwise could not participate
  • Art and craft supplies
  • Community outreach and collaborative programs
  • Accessible opportunities for children, adults, seniors, and people with different abilities
  • The everyday costs of keeping a welcoming creative community alive


You don’t have to be an artist to believe creativity matters.

You just have to believe people deserve places where they can connect, experiment, laugh, make a mess, learn something new, and discover what they’re capable of. We are hoping to raise $2,000 from individuals who enjoy the Jam this fall of 2026 (September through Thanksgiving) to help us keep offering what the Jam does best- a welcoming space.

Whether you give $10, $25, $100, $1,000, or something entirely your own, you become part of making that possible.


Help us keep creativity within reach.

Donate today and help us build a community where creativity truly belongs to everyone.
