We will start at 10:00 am at the Brighton Fire Station for a painting lesson and demo with Susan. Meet at the south end of the parking lot near the Brighton Lodge. We’ll take a short lunch from 12:30 pm to 1:00 pm and then go out for you to paint on location. If you need help with your set up, Susan will help you and give suggestions about where to paint. This will be a fun, informative day of painting that will help you at whatever level you are.  

This workshop is FREE. Registration is required and is limited to 15 participants.
