Thursdays, continuing November 15, December 6, and December 20, 10:30am – 12:30pm
Painting Seascapes with Strong Values 

with Harwood “Woody” Benton 
Fee: $40 per class

5 classes:  10/18, 11/8, 11/15, 12/6 and 12/20.  Take one, two, or all!

Watercolor painting is the process of staining heavy paper with water based pigment. With practice and patience, you can learn to capture the subtle shapes and light in the world around you. Watercolor, at its best, is about being in the moment and finding the essence of a subject rather than getting caught up in all of the minute details. In this class, we will start from a blank page and learn to bring to life a seascape scene from start to finish. Woody will demonstrate technique and show you how to create relationships with strong values, guiding each person as they try their hands at this wonderful medium.

This class is for adults. You do not have to have any prior experience. Woody has inspired adults for decades to add this form of moving meditation to their self-care regime. Paper supplied, students supply their own paint & brushes. To enroll, please contact by e-mail: cerulean777@icloud.com.

This year, for my daughter, I am making her a garland with collage so I was thinking let’s make garlands. They can be personal or seasonal. Bring with you a piece of fancy paper, rubber cement, and magazines to cut up.  I have string, hole punch, large letters stamp set, and glitter. Let’s just have fun crafting!!

There will be snacks and punch. BYO wine.
