Celebrate the color and warmth of spring in this fun one-day painting workshop with
Diana Rogers on April 5. Go bold, loosen up, and paint with lively colors. The workshop is geared to all experience levels. Experienced painters are welcome to use their preferred medium or give pastels a try. Participants new to painting are asked to use pastels. Diana will demo in pastel, her primary medium. Participants will receive lots of 1:1 time at the easel and have plenty of time to create a beautiful painting. The fee is $75 for members and $100 for non-members. The supply list will be shared upon registration. The event will be from 10am – 3:30pm on Saturday, April 5 at the Henry Carter Hull Library in Clinton, CT (town library just off I-95). For more information and questions, contact Diana at [email protected].
