Watercolor painting “Memories of Leelanau” workshop
Leelanau peninsula is so unique and special. Capture your memories with watercolor guided by a local folk artist!
What You Can Expect
Park in front of the farmhouse and follow signs to walk to the garden/patio/studio. There are only a few steps to climb. Dress to be outdoors unless the weather is too windy, wet, or chilly. If so, we’ll slip inside the house and meet in the studio.
Greet others in your small group setting and briefly tour the garden area. Grab a cold drink and settle in to your workspace where you will find all the supplies you need and an apron to protect your clothing.
Follow instructions, practice, make art, and feel proud of what you can do! Take two 4X6 framed souvenir projects home, either as a picture or magnet, and memories of a morning or afternoon spent in the Land of Delight.
