Did you always want to dabble in art? Ever want to try your hand at watercolor painting, for instance, but not know how to start? Well, now is the time to do it!  The Brazosport Art League is proud to host a Beginning Watercolor, Saturday Art Special on Saturday, June 28, 2008. Margaret Barker has been a long-time active member, artist and instructor in the art league and will be eager to teach the basics to get people started in this fun painting medium. The SAS will be in the Studio from 9:30a.m. until 3:30 p.m. at the Center for the Arts and Sciences, 400 College Drive, in Clute, Texas.


   Barker will teach the importance of having a good drawing before starting a watercolor painting. She will then add some basic watercolor techniques such as color mixing, washes and lifting color from the paper. Every participant will complete a painting using these different techniques.
