Everyone is welcome: member or non-member, beginner artist or accomplished artist. This is a time to sit, paint, visit and learn from one another. Informal - just friends meeting to enjoy painting and each other.
Donation is $5.00 which goes to SAWG. See you then!
“Try Watercolor with SAWG” classes will be held in the gallery at 5420 E Broadway, Suite 240 on Saturday mornings in July and August from 9:00 am to 11:00 am for the price of $25 per person each week. Please arrive a few minutes early so that the classes can begin on time. Class size is limited to 12. Art supplies are provided by SAWG for use in the class - perfect for those who want to try watercolor without the initial investment of materials.
We have four talented instructors who will teach different subjects and techniques to beginners interested in how to paint in watercolor. Since each class has a different instructor and focus, you may decide to enroll in all of them! The classes are designed to introduce students to not only watercolor but also and more importantly, introduce them to our terrific Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild.
For more information, contact the Gallery Classes Registrar, at galleryclasses@southernazwatercolorguild.com.
