Lynn Diamante Workshop
Cost: members $50; Non-members $60
From our Activities Director, Kriste Lindberg:
This workshop will be absolutely jam packed with techniques and tricks for watercolor.
Lynn states, "I try to be fearless when it comes to painting or trying new techniques. I work in several media, primarily watercolor and paint a variety of subjects… whatever piques my interest, especially nature. I work both representational and abstract, although many people think of me as a floral or landscape artist."
We will have a very full day of exploring watercolor using various techniques in "joyful, beautiful, uplifting, passionate and sometimes mysterious" contexts. Be prepared to be challenged and to have fun!
The deadline for member payment is the end of the day on July 17. You may pay with check, major credit/debit card or a PayPal account (if you have one). First-come, first-served.
