SATURDAY NOV 14th 2-4pm

Join us at Surf Canyon Malibu for a unique watercolor experience featuring handmade botanical paints grown in the fields of Weiser Family Farms and transformed into watercolor palettes by The Way We Live Studio.

Guest artist and Surf Canyon Tenant Daniel George will guide us through a watercolor painting workshop overlooking the very fields where our colors began.

Enjoy refreshments and grazing platters, with two handcrafted watercolor palettes included — one for painting and one to take home. hand made watercolor paint made from the Weiser Farm field at Surf Canyon.

Our oak gall and walnut ink kits are a true homage to this land. Crafted from botanicals hand-foraged in the Malibu hills and processed in our studio using traditional recipes, these are ultra-local inks.

The oak gall ink produces a rich, deep black. The walnut ink offers a softer, transparent brown with beautiful tonal variation. Perfect for brushwork, calligraphy, or collectors of natural color.

Each kit includes 2 × 25ml ink bottles, two bamboo stylus pens with thick and fine nibs and is packaged in a Kraft gift box. Small-batch and seasonal, each set reflects the rhythms of the landscape from which it was gathered.

Ingredients:

Oak Gall 25ml - Malibu Oak Gall, Copperas, Gum Arabic, Clove Oil for preservative.

This ink is not suitable for metal nib fountain pens due to the addition of copperas(iron) which may stain or rust nibs

Walnut 25ml - Malibu Black Walnut hulls, Gum Arabic, Clove oil for preservative.
