Have you always wanted to learn the art of watercolor painting? Or do you want to brush up on your skills? Suitable for any skill level, Kathleen Gerdes’ watercolor workshop is coming to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Boyhood Home.
Designed to be a fun, stress-free community experience among fellow artists, Ms. Gerdes’ workshop will cover, step-by-step, what each student needs to know about paints, brushes, paper, and basic watercolor skills and techniques. Plenty of time will be offered to practice what you learn, and each student will leave with his or her own painting, along with the knowledge and skills needed to continue painting at home.
Kathleen is a local artist and has been painting for over 20 years. She believes that everyone is an artist and her love of teaching reflects that. Her work is unique, whimsical and she loves to paint everyday objects with lots of color.
Are you an artist working in oils, photography, ceramics, textiles, watercolors, or another medium? Or do you know someone who is?
The Hawthorne House is holding its annual Art Exhibition this August and still has space for a couple more artists. Established and emerging artists are welcome. We’d love to showcase local talent, so please join us and share your work with the community.
