2022 May Newsletter

Hello Painters,

Our Seminar and workshop with Carol Spohn were great. We all had fun with the watercolor cards and learned a great deal working with rice paper, watercolors and wax. If you couldn't attend, you missed a great time.

In May Lydia Gossett will be teaching the Leaf Man Banner on Roc-Lon. Helen Mahoney will be teaching an Erika Joanne Quail Watercolor /Mixed Media piece in June. After the fun with Carol, we are looking forward to another watercolor experience.

In August we will be having our 3 day Fall Seminar with Heidi England. She will be teaching her Turkey Gobbler. Check the newsletter and seminar link for more information and pictures of this piece.

We have other classes and activities lined up for the year, so keep checking the newsletter for updates.
