SUMMARY:Plein Air Painting Workshop

All watercolor supplies are included; however\, participants are welcome to bring their own materials and mediums if they prefer. Participants are encouraged to bring a camping chair with a cup holder and an easel\, if they have one. \nIn the case of inclement weather\, the program will be postponed to a rain date on Saturday\, September 26\, from 11 am–1 pm. Students will be notified of any program changes due to weather. \nThe cost is per person. Registration is required\, so be sure to register early as space is limited. \nMember Price: $70 | Non-Member Price: $85
