Why Watercolor?
Quick Facts
The fluid dynamics of watercolor demand high presence but low executive demand, allowing corporate workers to enter a "flow state". This rests the prefrontal cortex, leading to sharper problem-solving and focus when returning to work tasks.
A study published in the Journal of the American Art Therapy Association found that participants who engaged in art-making for just 45 minutes experienced a significant reduction in cortisol levels, a hormone linked to stress.
Research by the National Center for Arts and Health revealed that companies investing in creative therapies observed a 20% reduction in healthcare costs and a 12% decrease in employee turnover rates.
According to a 2022 study conducted by the American Journal of Public Health, organizations that integrated art therapy into their wellness programs reported a staggering 45% improvement in employee engagement and a 38% decrease in anxiety symptoms.
Google implemented art workshop team-building activities to boost engagement. Participants reported increased creativity, improved teamwork, and enhanced communication, while the workshops fostered community and offered a space to de-stress.
No one in the world teaches Watercolor like Maya.
I taught high school art for 5 years.
Then, I spent two years developing the perfect teaching tool.
Then, I made it JOYFUL.
I’ve eliminated all the stressful barriers to painting, so all that’s left is a peaceful experience. I’ve refined the process so you can be as simple or detailed as you’re comfortable with. I’ve provided the exact colors I’ve used in the sample image, so you are set up with the right tools for success. I investigated and found the perfect brush for beginners, so painting feels as natural as holding a pen. I’ve created a straightforward practice guide so you can quickly learn techniques without the overwhelm. I’ve tested dozens of papers to find the perfect solution for absorbing water while keeping the design outline crisp and clean. I’ve made sure that your masterpiece will easily fit in your favorite frame.
