Northern Lights Felted Wool Painting with Wendy Anctil
DEC 6 | 1PM-4PM
Create a magical painting of the Northern lights using wool and a felting needle. Learn proper felting needle handling and use, color blending techniques and more as you work on a small scale design.
All materials will be provided, but do bring reading glasses if you need them as we will be working up close and with a sharp instrument. Your finished work will be set in a frame for hanging.
Winter Whites in Watercolor with Anne Wert
JAN 21 & 28 | 9:30AM-1:30PM
Whether painting a winter landscape, a fuzzy bunny, or background for a still life, knowing how to use white is a challenge for all watercolorists. In this two day workshop we will explore where and when to leave the white of the paper, looking for colors in white, using negative painting, and other techniques.
Paint from your own photos, or bring in something to work from observation.
Open to all levels (some watercolor experience preferred).
Classes and Workshops FAQs
All classes and workshops will be paid in full at time of registration.
What if I need to cancel or change my workshop?
Cancelling your class registration more than 7 days prior to the class will result in a full refund less the credit card fees if you paid by credit card.
Cancellation within 7 days of a workshop start date results in the full loss of tuition.
In the case that I am unable to attend a workshop, can I give my space to a friend?
Yes, though we ask that you please let us know if someone else will be taking your place in a workshop.
I can’t make all the days of the workshop; can I still take it?
In most cases, students can take part of a workshop, though you should let us know so we can check with the teaching artist. In general, workshops are not pro-rated if you are unable to attend the entire session.
What if PAG cancels a workshop?
In the event of under-enrollment, extreme weather, or other unforeseen incidents, the Portsmouth Arts Guild may cancel a scheduled workshop or class.
If an entire workshop is cancelled due to under-enrollment, tuition will be refunded in full. If a single session of a workshop is cancelled, and we are unable to make up the class on another date, a pro-rated tuition refund will be issued.
