Posted: Thursday, October 2, 2014Painting Uncorked at the Burchfield Penney October 16
Participants will create their own watercolor paintings, inspired by Charles E. Burchfield’s Wind-Blown Asters, during this Painting Uncorked workshop with Jody Ziehm and Beverly DiPalma, part of the International Center for Watercolor, on Thursday, October 16, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Burchfield Penney Art Center.
The cost is $55 for members and $65 for not-yet members. All materials will be provided: paint, brushes, paper, and aprons. Wine and hors d'oeuvres are included.
Participants will leave with their own original 11-by-14-inch painting, matted and ready to frame.
Painting Uncorked is a fun painting experience with step-by-step instruction. Participants will create their own watercolor, no experience necessary. The workshop is set in a casual atmosphere, and Ziehm and DiPalma have a friendly approach to their instruction. Participants will be inspired by Charles E. Burchfield’s Wind-Blown Asters, 1951, watercolor on paper, currently on exhibit in the Burchfield Botanicals exhibition. The instructors promise that participants will be amazed with their finished watercolors. Come alone or with a group of friends and family.
