Northern Lights Felted Wool Painting with Wendy Anctil

Northern Lights Felted Wool Painting with Wendy Anctil

DEC 6 | 1PM-4PM

Create a magical painting of the Northern lights using wool and a felting needle. Learn proper felting needle handling and use, color blending techniques and more as you work on a small scale design.

All materials will be provided, but do bring reading glasses if you need them as we will be working up close and with a sharp instrument. Your finished work will be set in a frame for hanging.

Winter Whites in Watercolor with Anne Wert

Winter Whites in Watercolor with Anne Wert

JAN 21 & 28 | 9:30AM-1:30PM

Whether painting a winter landscape, a fuzzy bunny, or background for a still life, knowing how to use white is a challenge for all watercolorists. In this two day workshop we will explore where and when to leave the white of the paper, looking for colors in white, using negative painting, and other techniques.

Paint from your own photos, or bring in something to work from observation.

Open to all levels (some watercolor experience preferred).
