Summer Lunch and Learn
Each summer Bev and Wanda take one week in August to bring our artist students and friends a special line-up of workshops. These workshops blend our watercolor workshops, the backbone of our business, with other types of workshops to bring in as diverse an array of artists as possible. This year we are proud to bring back our old friend and watercolorist extraordinaire, Gene Rizzo. Gene will be our kick-off artist and will conduct a demo on Sunday afternoon to get us started. On Monday, Gene will conduct a watercolor workshop. On Tuesday, Korinne Carpino will conduct an alcohol ink workshop. Wednesday brings us Trish O'Leary with a great Zentangle project, and Thursday we'll have another watercolor workshop with Lionel Sanchez. Friday rounds out the week with a calligraphy workshop with Marilyn Gray.
Five days, five instructors, and five different workshops -- what a great way to end the summer season. You can take one or take them all. Lunch is included in the price of the workshops. We look forward to seeing you at this year's Summer Lunch and Learn!
