Schedule:

9:30am: Morning Meet-Up (Optional)

10am: Family Paint Together, Guided by Dana M. Johnson (Bayfield, Wis.)
Aimed at all ages (bring the family!) and welcoming of artists of all levels, this hands-on art-making experience allows budding artists and their families and friends to enjoy the outdoors and fill their sketchbooks with painted memories.

Dana’s Recommended Supplies & Suggestions

Dress for the weather: hat, sunglasses, coat. Folding chair/blanket if you would like to sit. Bring a sketchbook/paper and your favorite materials. If you are new to painting, there will be some materials to share.

Dana's favorite materials: small travel watercolor set, or water crayons, and a waterbrush.

Find materials: Ghost Ship Gallery and Kiddiwink Kids carries some great basic supplies! WCC will also have a Art Exchange Box with supplies available for student artists!

12pm-ish - 4pm: Social Paint Session
