Are you ready to discover watercolor?
In these 4 continuing workshops, you’ll explore watercolor—how it flows, blends, and creates depth and emotion, while experiencing color mixing, layering, texturing, and special effects. You’ll use your own photos or numerous postcards and images, provided by Julie, producing a piece you'll be proud to hang in your home! Watercolor art supplies are provided or bring your own. Beginners are welcome.
Artist and workshop instructor Julie Hutslar is passionate about capturing nature’s vibrancy and light, translating it into expressive, harmonious paintings. With a vast experience as an artist and teaching art to all age groups, her passion for people and art is evident in her classes. With a focus on personal expression, she aims to inspire students to find their unique artistic voice and unleash their creativity.
Class price for Members - $100 (Includes supplies)
Class price for Non-Members - $120 (Includes supplies)
Curious about pet photographic techniques?
Great animal portraits and great human portraits have the same qualities. A portrait of any living being should draw you into their world and make you want to know more. Learn to overcome the obstacles to capturing the essence, personality and beauty of pets on camera for both fine art photography and reference photos for other mediums.
Sandra Dalton brings together 20 years of fine art photography and a lifetime of deep connection with animals to teach you photographic techniques for capturing composition, lighting, and mood for pet portraits in all media.
This class is open to all skill levels, No supplies needed; bring a snack as desired.
