Spring is the time to get your gear together and head on outdoors to paint.  We have a great demo on June 7th to help you get started, Plein Air Painting - Saturday June 7th  1-4pm; award winning plein air artist Michael Neilson discusses the materials and equipment you need for a good plein air painting set up, then takes to the outdoors, weather permitting, for a demonstration of his approach to painting a street scene from life.

In July we will have Watermedia - July 26th  at 2pm, a great demo on creating new compositions from previous painting efforts using acrylic and watercolor paints; artist Thea Kovac shares some of her favorite tips and techniques for creating vibrant watermedia paintings.

As always the demo’s are free!
