About this event

  • 2 hours

This outdoor painting program will be held at the Bottcher's Landing Boat Launch in the Town of Big Flats. The workshop will take place in the shaded area under the pavilion, or participants can bring their own camping chairs and move around the property. This class is limited to the first 20 people who sign up.

Participants will be supplied with a variety of high-quality brushes, 140lb. cold-press watercolor paper, Wisner & Newton watercolor paints, palates, drawing boards, and filtered water from the river. Students will also receive instruction from a locally renowned artist and instructor - Bridget Bossart van Otterloo (http://bridgetbossartvanotterloo.com/), and the artist will demonstrate different watercolor painting techniques for landscape painting.

This program will have a member and non-member rate. To become a member, please visit our website, ChemungRiverFriends.org. Please bring your own water bottle to reduce plastic waste and feel free to bring a lawn chair if you'd like to sit outside the pavilion while you paint. We will provide tables, snacks, refreshments, and all of the necessary art supplies.
