If you’ve always wanted to try watercolor but were too intimidated, this is the class for you!
Every landscape painting starts with a great sky – learn the basics of water & washes while we explore ways to create clouds, gradations and depth. We’ll learn the properties of a variety of blue shades and experience the “zen” of watching paint dry! Quality supplies are important & we will need to use them! Each month we will add to our repertoire of subject matter and explore new techniques. Class limit 10 students. For more information about Ginny Joyner, please check out her website: ginnyjoyner.com.

Sunday, April 28, 12:30–2:30 p.m., Shape-Note Singing
No registration required. Cost: Free
Traditional a capella, four-part harmony sung for the joy of singing…not as a practice for performance. Search “Sacred Harp” on YouTube for examples, then come and sing with us! Introduction to shape notes and scales is recommended and offered 30 minutes before each first Sunday singing. Contact Kerry Cullinan at kclynxvt@gmail.com to schedule.
