 Our Art Journey 2017 series, with artist Wynn Yarrow, continues on June 12th, 6:30pm with "Snapshots & Selfies", a watercolor art workshop. Paint a watercolor background and put yourself in the picture with a cut paper silhouette. Learn to let watercolor work for you: how to get the soft mixed color blooms; using color to create a sense of depth; and how to look and cut without drawing first.
Open to adults and teens. Registration is required: 733-9175.
This project is made possible, in part, with public funds from NYSCA’s Decentralization Program, administered regionally by The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes.
