Postcard from the Caribbean - Outdoor Painting Session - Cancelled Imagine sitting under a palm tree sipping a piña colada and ready to paint your very own postcard of the scene surrounding you. You have everything you need, including one of the leading watercolorists in the Caribbean to guide you. The only other thing required is inspiration that surely the beauty of Puerto Rico will provide. This project is a few hours of creative fun that allows you to take home a true treasure, not found but CREATED in the Caribbean! Participants will meet in a designated area to pick up their painting materials. At this time the artist will spend about a half hour going over some basics of painting with watercolor. When she is finished the group is free to get comfortable and paint whatever they desire. The artist will move around from student to student, making herself available for individual demonstrations, advice and encouragement. The price includes painting materials and all gratuities.
