A structured, in-person group art experience designed to encourage gentle hand use in a calm, non-clinical setting.

I offer 60–90 minute guided watercolor painting sessions created specifically for hand therapy clinics seeking a low-pressure, engaging group activity that complements existing rehabilitation programs.

These sessions give patients a pleasant, motivating reason to use their hands, without positioning the activity as therapy or treatment.

This is a recreational, educational art session facilitated by a professional watercolor instructor.

Participants are guided through simple watercolor exercises that involve:

  • Light grip and release

  • Controlled, intentional brush movement

  • Slow pacing with frequent rest

  • Minimal pressure and strain

The focus is on approachable hand use, confidence, and participation—not performance.

Designed for Hand Therapy Settings

This program is intentionally scoped to align with hand therapy environments:

  • Designed for groups of up to 10 participants

  • Suitable for mixed ability levels

  • No prior art experience required

  • Calm, clearly guided instruction

  • Adaptable pacing based on group needs

Clinics use these sessions as adjunct programming that supports engagement and morale while respecting clinical boundaries.

  • Add variety alongside traditional rehabilitation programming

  • Encourage patient participation through a creative, low-pressure activity

  • Offer a structured group experience without increasing staff workload

  • Support patient motivation during recovery

This program may be particularly well suited for:

  • Post-surgical hand patients

  • Arthritis and chronic hand conditions

  • Older adults

  • Patients experiencing frustration or fatigue with clinical exercises
