For those interested in finding their inner artist, The Fountain Hills Artists’ Gallery is offering a few workshops in September and October with no experience required.
“Paint Your Pet” is a favorite workshop held Sunday, Sept. 17, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. In this workshop, Acrylic Artist Kelly Bowman will guide participants to paint their pet or favorite animal in acrylics on a 12”x9” canvas. Participants must email Bowman a picture of their pet and Bowman will sketch it onto the canvas which will be ready when participants arrive. The class is limited to six students, and the $70 fee includes all supplies. Bowman’s email will be given at registration.
“Introduction to Watercolor” with Carrie Godwin will be offered Sunday, Sept. 24, from 9 to 11 a.m. and again Thursday, Oct. 5, from 5 to 7 p.m. Godwin’s approach to teaching is to loosen up her students and explore possibilities. An 8”x8” sketch of a simple loose floral painting will be provided where participants will use the techniques they learned to make their own unique painting. The class is limited to six students and the $45 fee includes all supplies.
