Step Into Spring At Laurelton Art Society's Exhibit, Workshops

If the warmer weather and the blooming spring flowers are not arriving quickly enough for your liking, stop by the Brick branch of the Ocean County Library and let the Laurelton Art Society’s Annual Spring Exhibit sweep you away.

The exhibit, which runs through Saturday, April 25, is open to the public during the library’s operating hours. There is an artists’ reception on April 25 from 12:30-2:30 p.m. Meet the artists and learn about the art society, which welcomes new members.

In addition to the exhibit and reception, the society is offering the chance for the public to join in and learn to create beautiful art through three workshops. All three focus on painting with watercolors.

The first is this Friday, April 10, Rose Marie Licata will present “Painting a Landscape”. She will demonstrate her method of highlighting trees using masking tape. Simply bring in your watercolor supplies, tape, and scissors, and work along with her. Please sign up early as class size is limited.

On Friday, April 17, Leona Lavone presents the “Loose as a Goose” workshop at 2 p.m. Almost every watercolorist wishes for a looser style. Here is your chance to master the techniques. Nobody does this as well as Leona. Bring in your supplies and loosen up with her.

On Friday, April 24, paint along with Ray Moran at the third watercolor workshop. Simply bring in your watercolor supplies and work along with him.

All three workshops begin at 2 p.m. and registration is urged as they are limited to 20 participants. The workshops are free.
