A PEEK AT OUR
WORKSHOPS!
Watercolor:
Inside & Out
May - Sept
Saturdays
June 20, July 25 and August 15, 2009
9:00
am - 5:00 pm
Standing in the
middle of a stream or at the most scenic
viewpoint from the freeway isn't recommended
for long painting sessions. You can, however,
learn to sketch, photo and train your visual
memory.
In this workshop you take photos and sketches
on location with Michele, then go back to the
studio at KAC and develop them into paintings.
Get tips on using
your digital camera as a sketching tool.
The one-day format
provides adequate time for personal painting,
group critiques and one-on-one instruction.
Subscribing to one Saturday per month allows
you to practice at home, then bring work for
critique at the next session.
Prerequisite: Watercolor experience. Returning
students welcome for continued study. Supply
list provided.
