Find something special on your beach? Bring that too.
Other adult classes being offered in April include:
“Itchin’ to Scratch: Intro to Scratchboard” 11 am to 3 pm April 16, taught by Carmelo Ciancio. Sometimes called “the art of taking away,” scratchboard is a medium that allows for amazing detail. In this class, participants will learn the basic techniques for working on scratchboard. Learn to use knives and abrasives to remove the black ink to reveal the white surface and how to achieve textures and subtle details in the work. Open to all levels. Drawing skills are helpful, but not necessary, as students will focus on technique and use images supplied by the instructor for reference.
“Garden Botanicals: a Watercolor Workshop” 10 am to 3:30 pm April 19 and 20, taught by Nancy Thompson. Learn techniques for painting florals in watercolor. Participants will work step by step to create better paintings as they study composition, color mixing, and background techniques. No experience necessary. Great for any level.
Registration is required for these classes. Call 410-326-4640.
