Oakland Watercolor Outing with John Springer
Venture into the Cemetery with artist and instructor John Springer, where you will interpret the built environment and natural world of Oakland through watercolor.
Participants will take time to work together to find color harmonies and inner light, discovering that even a quick painting can evoke the movement found in nature and how this movement can render meaning.
These full-day workshops will take place within Oakland Cemetery’s grounds and are limited to 14 participants.
All materials for the workshop are provided; bring protection from the sun and food and water, as needed. This workshop is accessible to anyone of any level of artistic experience, from beginner up.
