Reflections along the River: Painting Workshop
November 6th, 2:00pm- 5:30pm
$36 members/ $46 non-members
Join us for a relaxing, outdoor painting session along the water as we capture the glowing autumn light and vibrant river reflections! Under the guidance of local fine artist, Monica Esposito, you’ll learn accessible techniques for painting water, light, and late-season foliage—hopefully catching the last brilliant gold of the changing cottonwoods.
Whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced painter, this workshop is designed to make outdoor painting easy and approachable. All essential materials are provided, including gouache or watercolor paint kits.
What to Bring:
- A comfortable folding camp or lawn chair
- Your personal water bottle
- Optional: Your own watercolor or gouache paints if you prefer using your personal kit
Space is limited to ensure personalized instruction and due to material inventory. Reserve your spot today!
