Creative Aging: Drawing & Watercolor with Nancy Carey
In this 7-weeks series, participants will develop drawing and watercolor painting skills through step-by-step demonstrations and exercises via Zoom.
This will end in a culminating event in which teacher will prepare a slide show of 2 – 3 examples of each participant’s artwork. During the slide show, participants will comment on their work and share their experience in the class.
Registration is required. You will receive Zoom Link by 10am the morning of the program. Please note this is a series, if you register for one session, you are registered for the whole series. Once you receive the link, that zoom link can be used for ALL sessions.
