Event Details
Sketching outdoors is relaxing and fun. You are free of the demands and expectations associated with a finished watercolor painting.
Follow along with artist, Eileen McCullough, as she demos her creative carefree style. The subject matter will be beachgoers and the festivities centered around the Oceanside Pier. The focus will be on sketching with a brush plus, lessons on signage, umbrellas, banners, bikes, and bodyboarders.
