Water Color Painting Classes for Adults?
I plan to continue my watercolor painting when we are settled in after the BIG move and was wondering if there are any classes/instructors in the area?
I am not a beginner, but I'm not a professional either. (yet) My main interest is landscapes. Thanks in advance. |

Larry Frates!
Frates Creative Arts Center in Laconia is great. Larry actually has a Bob Ross style painting program on local Lakes Region Public Acces Channel 25 too. I found myself captvated watching it one day! He's great, highly recommended.

If I were a serious painter, I'd at least contact Fleur Palau. I'm not sure if she teaches, but she can at least point you in the right direction.
Check out her web page: http://artpalau.org/paintings.html |

I do not know if she gives lessons, but you should speak with Christine at Gallery 51 on Main Street in Meredith.

I don't teach Cate but I paint in watercolors, oils, acrylics and other media. Big in photography. If you ever want company plein air of in a studio of which I am in the process of moving let me know. Sometimes company and other opinions is just as good as a class.

Maybe?
Try http://www.vynnart.com They are a new place in Meredith. A friend of mine teaches there. I am not sure exactly what classes they offer, but it's worth a shot!

Frates Creative Arts does offer classes, yes. I believe that he does watercolor and acrylic, possibly oils. His wife also has an adjacent dance studio, which is why it's billed more as an 'arts center'.

Chi-lin, an Asian antique and art store in Meredith offered some fabulous painting workshops this past fall, which unfortunately I was unable to attend. Perhaps they're offering more this spring- they don't seem to keep their website updated. Chi-lin is definitely worth a visit, regardless.

Hi Cate,
Good luck with that house offer! There is a gallery in Wolfeboro on Main St. owned by an artist, Snady Martin. Her website is www.sandymartinart.com. She is a lovely person. A friend of mine took lessons from her and loved her. |
