Join the Burchfield Penney Art Center's International Center for Watercolor for the next workshop in its Summer Watercolor Salon series, Water Reflection with Kathleen Giles, on Thursday, July 2, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.

Paint an object's reflection in water using color values and textural contrasts. The reflection will be remarkably realistic when the paint is applied using the wet-in-wet technique.

Kathleen Giles is an accomplished watercolor painter and teacher. She is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society and recently had a painting, Woman in the Yellow Shirt, featured on the cover of the December/January 2014–2015 issue of International Artist Magazine. Giles teaches classes at the Kenan Center in Lockport and workshops in the United States and Canada.

The International Center for Watercolor Thursday Salon is a hands-on watercolor program held in the Burchfield Penney's studio classroom. On Thursday evenings during the summer, bring your watercolor supplies, stop by Burchfield's Café to purchase a refreshing drink, and join your friends in the studio classroom for painting and conversation with a featured watercolorist. Create a vibrant watercolor landscape while concentrating on color and texture. By emphasizing a particular hue or grain, the painting defines itself as a vivid watercolor painting.

Drop-in workshops; no registration required.
$15 for members; $25 for not-yet members.
