Art Workshop is designed for aspiring SOAR artists to get together informally and improve their painting skills in water media. The group collectively critiques their art work, and all learn from each other. Beginners are welcome to join the class. Experienced members are willing to mentor beginners.

Nellie Bright loves watercolors. She also loves the  class structure and the exchange of ideas among group members to keep her on-track and inspired.

Sally Kirby is a long time weaver and an accomplished watercolorist. Both Sally and Nellie have been participants in Leon LeBeau’s art workshop classes for many years.

Meagan Fontanes is a SUNY Potsdam student who is majoring in art. Meagan also will be participating as a mentor in this course
