Traditional movement exercises can feel discouraging or monotonous — especially for older adults.

Rehabilitation works best when it’s:

  • Consistent

  • Low-stress

  • Enjoyable enough to stick with

And, watercolor painting naturally encourages:

  • Gentle hand and finger movement

  • Wrist control and coordination

  • Focus and mental engagement

  • Emotional uplift and motivation

All while creating something beautiful.

What Makes This Different From a Typical Art Class

This is not a fast-paced or technique-heavy art course.

Each session is intentionally designed to:

  • Move slowly and predictably

  • Reduce cognitive overload

  • Encourage repetition through creativity

  • Allow participants to work at their own pace

  • End with a finished painting or completed exercise

There is no pressure to “be good at art.”
The goal is movement, engagement, and confidence — not perfection.

Ideal For Adults and Seniors Who Are:

  • Recovering from injury, surgery, or illness

  • Experiencing stiffness, reduced dexterity, or coordination challenges

  • Participating in occupational or physical therapy and need additional gentle movement

  • Struggling to stay motivated with traditional exercises

  • New to art and hesitant to try something unfamiliar

This class works alongside rehabilitation — not in place of it.
