April Watercolor Workshop at Summit Art Gallery

Local artist, Bob Watson, will be instructing a watercolor painting class with techniques that can be used to create larger works.
The class is limited to 18 participants and will be held at the Summit Art Gallery, located at 243 Three Springs Drive, Suite 17, Weirton, on April 5, from 10 a.m. until around noon.
The cost is $35 with all supplies provided. Participants must be 18 or older. The class will cover watercolor basics and will concentrate on painting small studies of skies. Each attendee will select a sky from their small studies and paint a larger work using the study for reference.
Techniques will include methods for protecting white space and texture.
Call the Top of West Virginia Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) at 304.797.7001 to register by the close of business on March 28.
