Join Telagio Baptista for an in-person workshop on November 8, 2026!

THE MAGIC OF WATERCOLOR WORKSHOP

Saturday, November 8 • 12-4 PM
MEMBERS: $125/person • Non-Members: $140/person

Let’s jump in and discover the joy of creating beautiful paintings using just 1 to 3 colors with artist Telagio Baptista!

During this workshop, you’ll learn to understand and create different shades of a single color, as well as how to create an array of colors with just the three primary colors through instructor demonstrations and one-on-one ongoing support. At the end of the workshop, you’ll participate in a show-and-tell with other workshop participants and get to take home a magical painting, ready to hang!
