  • Watercolor & More!!!

    Study watercolor techniques with Joanne Stramara at the Visual Arts Center (VAC). Joanne will work with Beginning Watercolor artists to develop their skills by teaching the basics, while the Intermediate/Advanced artists will be able to challenge themselves by learning new techniques in their watercolor journey.  A reference Photo and drawing will be supplied, but advanced students may have their choice of using the Reference (that Joanne will demo from) or create a painting of their own design.
