Using that sensory experience as a starting point, they then create a quick abstract painting by staining and painting paper with brewed tea. Tea functions as both pigment and concept. Introducing color through a natural, time-based material connected to ritual, land, and care. Participants explore wash, pooling, and mark-making as a way of translating taste and feeling into visual form.Components 1. Tea TastingParticipants will be guided through a tasting of three teas selected for their cultural histories, sensory depth, and pigment qualities, each corresponding to a primary color:Hibiscus: deep crimson; tart, floral, and bodily (red)Turmeric: earthy yellow; warmth, medicine, and stain (yellow)Butterfly Pea Flower: vibrant blue; transformation and pH-responsive color shifts (blue)Each tea will be discussed briefly in relation to color, origin, and embodied sensation, establishing a sensory foundation for the watercolor portion of the workshop.2. Tea WatercolorUsing brewed teas as natural pigments, participants will create watercolor paintings inspired by their sensory experience of tasting. Participants may mix teas, layer washes, and observe how the pigments shift as they dry, emphasizing process, instability, and transformation.Accessibility & EngagementNo prior art experience required.All materials will be provided.
