TLDR: WATERCOLOR SOME FLOWERS, DRINK WINE AND HANG
On this FieldTrip, you’ll visit the Designit offices to drink and draw with Gabi Anderson, a Bay Area creative that formed her watercolor technique 10 years ago when she was an itty bitty illustration student at the Rhode Island School of Design. You’ll learn about her drawing process, layered watercolor technique, and weird things that have been inspiring her recently. Learn a new technique while sipping on wine, munching on snacks and chatting with other Bay Area creatives. You’re sure to leave with a piece of art that will make you consider quitting your day job.
This is a more traditional format where participants absorb information through presentations and talks.
This FieldTrip will not be recorded.

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.
It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
