Opening Reception:

ArtsWorcester Gallery
44 Portland Street
Worcester, MA 01608

Color is an essential element of visual art and communicates emotions, attracts attention, and references culture. Artist members were asked to delve deeply into the dominant color of their choice, and respond to one (or more) of ten artworks on loan from the Fitchburg Art Museum. This year’s loan features artworks that each utilize a limited color palette, or are dominated by a single color.

My new monochromatic piece titled “Fragility” is a response to a photograph by Joyce Tennesen titled “Fork Shaped Tree”. I’m excited to see all of the pieces from ArtsWorcester members. I hope you will join us.

Zen Watercolor Shapes Workshop at NEBG

Location: New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill
Three teardrop shapes in a row painted with different colors and textures in watercolors.

Saturday, April 5th, 2025

Watercolors can be challenging for beginners, but they can also be relaxing and fun. Come play with watercolors by filling in shapes with different colors, patterns, and textures. This allows for experimentation and play in a focused fashion, giving way to flow and a relaxed, zen-like state. We will start the session with an introduction to the materials and a teacher demonstration before trying it out on your own.

No experience necessary. This is intended to be a fun and relaxing workshop with no expectations

All materials will be provided, to be returned at the end of class. Your paintings are yours to take home.

Come enjoy the gardens in their colorful spring glory! We’ll be using a travel-ready watercolor setup to move about the gardens at New England Botanic Gardens to paint the flora of spring. This “en plein air” (painting outdoors) experience is a great way to connect with nature while trying out watercolors using water brushes and a watercolor journal.

No experience necessary. Come play with a more compact watercolor setup! This is intended to be a fun and relaxing workshop with no expectations.

Journals, pencils, brushes, and paints provided, but you are welcome to bring your own. The journal will be yours to keep. Pencils, brushes, and paints to be returned. A supplies list will be provided should you choose to purchase your own after the workshop.

Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes for walking around and sitting in the gardens. You may also bring your own portable chair, stool, small blanket, or cushion to sit on.
