Artists are invited to join Natalie Pfanstiehl in watercolor painting workshops at the historic Watson Farm on Saturdays, July 14, August 11 and September 8 from 9:30 to 3 pm. Located in Jamestown the farm offers panoramic vistas of the pastoral agricultural landscape that artists have enjoyed painting for over 100 years. These all day workshops offer painters the opportunity to experience and capture the many facets of the farm buildings, stonewalls and gardens through the medium of watercolor.
Natalie Pfanstiehl, who has taught at the Newport Art Museum for over 20 years, leads the workshop. Her work has been shown in national, regional and local juried shows and received numerous awards. She will give a one-hour demonstration of landscape painting and spend the rest of the day assisting students with composition and painting techniques. Students should bring their own painting materials and a bag lunch. All levels of experience with painting are welcome. Each workshop stands alone, come to one or all three. The cost is $25 for Historic New England members or $40 for non-members. Preregistration is requested.
