Classes
Workshops and Free Paint-Outs
Learn and practice the freshness, spontaneity, and simplicity of watercolor painting.
Create interesting and frameable art in just a few hours!
Annie Murphy Springer specializes in local landscapes that express exuberance and whimsy
and is known for her affection of purples, maroons and mauves.
Teaching watercolor is one of her greatest joys - she especially enjoys exposing both new and experienced artists to the WONDERS OF WATERCOLOR.
She teaches one-on-one and small groups; men and women, and even folks who are left-handed!
One of her specialties is leading workshops called WATERCOLOR FOR GUYS. These workshops began at the request of guys who have had a less than satisfying experience as the only guy in an art class or who have always wanted to try experimenting with art in a comfortable, supportive peer group setting.
