Audubon Offering Workshop in Beginning Watercolors

The Jamestown Audubon Center & Sanctuary is offering a workshop in beginning watercolors from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, November 30 at the center, 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania.

With instruction from distinguished artist Christine French, participants will create two fall landscape watercolor paintings that are ready to frame. Participants can bring their own images of fall scenes or use ones that will be available. Professional watercolor paper and paints will be provided.

This class is suitable for teenagers and adults: no experience is necessary.

Class size is limited to 20 people with a minimum of 10 needed. The fee of $67 or $59 for Friends of the Nature Center includes all materials. Audubon will provide coffee and tea for BYO lunch.

Reservations with payment are required by Friday, November 22, 2013: call (716) 569-2345 or use the on-line form.
