Drawing Skills & Mixing Color with Pieter Lefferts 

Enhance your understanding of color mixing and/or hone your drawing skills with artist and art educator Pieter Lefferts in this four-session series.

Registration is required and is for the whole series. 

Two series are offered this spring. (Please note: these dates have been moved forward one week from the original dates due to the weather closing on March 3rd.)

• Series 1: Four Tuesdays, March 10, 17, 24, and 31, 2:00 - 4:00 PM (Registration opens February 3rd at 5 PM.)
   
• Series 2: Four Tuesdays, April 7, 14, 21, and 28, 2:00 - 4:00 PM (Registration opens March 4th at 5 PM.) 

This workshop provides instruction for all levels, from beginner to expert.

We will focus on recipes for mixing color with watercolors. Participants are asked to bring subject matter, including photos or still life objects, or you may choose to work from your imagination.

We’ll also work on honing drawing skills, so you may choose to focus on that, on color mixing, or on a combination of both.

Pencils, paper, and watercolor materials will be provided. You are also welcome to bring your own drawing materials, watercolors, or gouache.
