On Saturday, July 13th visiting artist, Therese Brady Donohue, from Amherst, MA, is offering a three-hour workshop for ages 11 through adults, teaching a technique combining tissue paper texture mixed with gesso and watercolor paint on a 16” x 20” canvas. All materials will be provided. Students are welcome to bring their own watercolors or use those provdied.
If you have a blow hair dryer to bring, this will speed up the drying process. (There will be several available but the more dryers, the quicker all the work will dry!)
This will be a fun afternoon for teens, adults, or parent/child or grandparent/grandchild duos!
