The Watercolor Travel Journal
This one-day workshop starts you on a visual journey! Learn how to choose subjects, create interesting compositions, work with watercolor and drawing media, and sketch on location. We create journal pages in Acadia National Park, the harbors and boatyards — or inside quaint locales or in our cozy gallery, if weather keeps us inside.

Color Wednesdays
This group focuses on color art media -- anything NOT oil paints: watercolor, pastel, acrylic, colored pencil, oil pastel, or iPad. Come and play with your art stuff! I have some supplies I can sell you if you lack anything (well, I don't sell iPads, lol). Carroll Drug has some stuff for sale as well. You can bring reference photos, work from your imagination, fantasy, or abstract. It's all good! We are outdoors 'en plein air' (on location) in good weather.

Mozart & Art for Seniors
This unique art class for Senior Adults ​focuses on providing a studio cultural experience for adults experiencing cognitive, mobility, or life-threatening challenges. This group is guided by the principle of 'process' over 'product', in that our senior students will re-experience the joy of creative work. We play quiet classical music, and provide all art materials. Artists take their work home with them. Senior artists will be able to work with acrylic, watercolor, or colored pencils, with the guidance of your chaperones. 'Hand-over-hand' initiating is practiced. Dignity is foremost, and enjoyment of an afternoon with art is the goal.
