Young at Heart: A Brush with the Past

During each two-hour session, create a watercolor painting based on your own collection of personal and family photographs. Teaching artist, Wennie Huang, will begin each weekly session with a demonstration of watercolor techniques you can try from home to translate snapshots of travel, family, and friends into your own unique compositions. Just as artist Frederic Church collected thousands of photographs throughout his life, participants will be encouraged to cull through their own collection of images and personal snapshots to find new artistic inspiration.

This weekly series will take inspiration from students’ personal archive of photographs of places visited, people cherished, and memories worth revisiting.

This program is designed for adults ages 55+ as part of Olana’s Young at Heart series.
