Creative Aging: Let’s Paint with Watercolors
Tuesdays 10/5, 10/12, 10/19, 10/26, 11/16, 11/23 and 11/30, 4-6 PM
Arlington Library is proud to present this seven-week Virtual Creative Aging Watercolor Workshops. In this class participants will first learn how to create a painting by using only one color which is called monochromatic. Then they will move on to complimentary colors. They will also explore how to use multicolor designs in a painting. They will also learn how negative space in a painting draws the viewer in. Lastly, they will bring all these techniques together to present a masterpiece for the culminating event.
Teaching artist Wilfredo Santiago is bilingual in Spanish.
Workshop will be led virtually through Zoom. All participants will need access to a device with a camera and internet access.
