Interested in learning the Basics of Painting Alla Prima (outdoors, all in one sitting) in time for spring? The San Leandro Art Association is pleased to welcome Cathy Boyer, watercolorist, who will demonstrate the beginning steps to create Plein Air watercolor paintings. She will show how to create grey scale studies with a charcoal sketch and discuss the basics of painting: composition, value, color and edges. 

Contact Kathleen Kelly at sanleandroart.contact@gmail.com for information about the Zoom link, supplies needed or with questions.
