Looking to improve your artistic skills? We are excited to offer a beginners' watercolor painting class for adults at the Library next month!

The class will run from 5.30 - 7.30 p.m. on Thursday, November 2 at the Library.

Instructor Veronica Morgan is an experienced artist and teacher whose artworks have been featured and won prizes in many local venues, including Tulip Time, Windmill Island Gardens and the Grand Rapids Children's Museum. Veronica will guide participants in the essential elements of watercolor painting and each of them will create a watercolor landscape painting to take home.

This class is free, and all materials will be provided, but in order to offer the best instructional experience, space is strictly limited. We will be creating a waitlist and may add a second program date if there is sufficient interest.

Please call the Library at 857-8241 during business hours, or email [email protected] to reserve your spot. Please include your full name, email address and phone number in your request.

  • Friday, June 9 and Saturday, June 10, 2023
  • 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. (1 hour lunch break)
  • $225
Soft Pastels provide the most direct flow of pigment from human hand to paper of almost any medium, and the beautiful hues available are pretty darn exciting.  In this 2-day workshop, you will learn how to start painting with this wonderful medium, and of course that includes choosing a good subject, creating a pleasing composition and recording proper values to create a lovely piece of finished art.  
Day 1:  We will learn basic mark-making and other practices after a demo or two, discussing related elements.  Each student will begin and complete a pastel painting.  
Day 2:  We will review first day and instructor will field any questions/concerns. Then we will begin and complete at least one other painting on that final day. You may bring your own photos - that you've taken - to use on the second day (subject to discussion with instructor) for your final painting(s). If you don't have any suitable source photos, the instructor will have some for you to use.

MATERIALS TO BRING:
Students will provide their own materials. A supply list will be sent out prior to the workshop.
Contact Pickle Street School Studio to register.

No one is going to know that your brilliant work exists if it goes no further than your studio. Take a chance. Stretch yourself. Make your work visible. Consider applying to one or more of the GAAC's upcoming exhibits or an artist's residency. Do it. This is the year.

Here’s what you will come away with:
• Practice exercises good to use as long as you want to improve/maintain your skills
• The BEST tricks and techniques, along with traditional study, to help you observe better for more accurate drawings
• The start of your personal art portfolio, for your forever reference
• Framable drawing studies
