De-stress, unwind, and enjoy the almost-magical calm that comes from painting with watercolors.
Each week features a different theme -- we'll have some inspiration and supplies ready for you! But feel free to create something else if you'd like.
Want pointers on painting techniques? We'll do our best to help! But please keep in mind that this is not an art class -- it's a chance to be creative and relax while enjoying each other's company in an encouraging environment.
The Details:
Watercolor for “Young at heART” adults meets every Tuesday morning to enjoy watercolor painting while commiserating with fellow artists! This friendly and social group is open to all adults and to all levels of art experience, including those who have never painted with watercolor at all. Sometimes the group works on individual projects and sometimes there is an art education period. Sometimes you will learn something new and sometimes you can teach something to others. Join in for a morning of beautiful art and fun conversation!
