Photos from the Carbonetti Watercolor Workshop

We are having a wonderful time learning about art and watercolor painting from Jeanne Carbonetti this week!
The class is being held in the historic Coin country school house, complete with blackboards, coat hooks, and hardwood floors. Twenty six students are painting like mad in the west room each afternoon...
 and listening to Jeanne's lectures and demonstrations each morning in the east room...
The morning's landscape painting in progress is visible in the overhead mirror.
Jeanne consults with each student privately in the afternoon as they work on the day's project.
Of course we MUST take time out for treats too.

Tomorrow is already our last day.  It promises to be as rich a learning experience as the past two days -- we will be working with the figure!

Soon I'll post photos of some of the work created in class. Several participants will have work created in this class on display at the Kanabec History Center this summer.

This activity is made possible in part by a grant from the East Central Regional Development Commission and the East Central Arts Council with funds provided by the Minnesota State Legislature.
