Winter's Quiet Light: A Two-day Watercolor Workshop
November 17th and 18th
Upstairs Classroom
$160
10am-4:00pm both days
There’s a particular stillness that only winter can offer—a hush that settles over the land when the world turns white and every sound feels softened by snow. On November 17th and 18th, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., we’ll gather under that same quiet spell for a two-day watercolor workshop led by Dale L. Popovich, presented by LOLA Arts.
Two small studies will guide your hand, preparing you for two quarter-sheet paintings that bring the lessons to full expression. Dale’s personal library of reference photos will spark your imagination as you translate the hush of the woods into something alive on paper.
