D.Y.O.T. with Instruction with Carol Colvin
2026-09-02 15:30 - 17:30 | Ocean County Artists Guild, 22 Chestnut Avenue, Island Heights, NJ, 08732, United States
April 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, May 6, 13, 20
3:30 PM – 5:30 PM.
Members: $160
Non-members: $200
Hello members,
My new class is starting, and I will continue to set up a still-life, and instruct students with their own projects, but . . .Ever get frustrated with a watercolor you just can’t get right?
Been there, done that. Some time ago I did a portrait of a niece in watercolor.
Loved the tilt of her head and the flowers in her hair (she was a bridesmaid I think); but at that time I could not achieve the softness of her face in paint.
So, I went over the entire work with pastels, which are soft and blend beautifully.
Join me in class, beginning April 1, 3:30 – 5:30, for 8 weeks. $160 members, $200 for non-members.
I will supply the pastels. Doesn’t have to be a portrait that you want to enhance, could be landscape, still-life or abstract.
So much fun to get messy with your materials.
