This one day only (May 12 Saturday (9:45am) 10 am -5:30 pm ) This Cafe / Workshop is designed to inspire your enthusiasm for watercolors, and introduce exciting new challenges to
take your watercolors to the next level! (Space limited to 6 artists.) Join us in a one day watercolor workshop designed for the
student who has had at least some
experience, not necessarily advanced, so that by the end of the day we can have a couple of small 10"x 14" watercolors
( or larger size of your choice) and some exercises that give your watercolors a boost ,
with important principle skills that will apply to every watercolor painting you do
in the future. (Some aspects of this rough itinerary are subject to change as we
progress depending on the timing of each event.) Cafe Workshop Price $100. (call Reddi Arts John (904)398-3161 ext 319)

"Some of the best moments in my life were when I took
the time to sit down, capture the essence of a place in a deftly executed watercolor, that
captured my fleeting impression and feeling of a place, be it a village in France
or a beach in Florida. Life is to be
savored, and this is my favorite way to do it, a morning watercolor followed by a nice meal in a cafe, followed by another
watercolor. It's the closest thing to heaven that I have found! The only thing better is doing it with friends. I am always in search
of the Ultimate Cafe!"
