Arts Enrichment - Water Mixable Oils Demo

Just Add Water! If you’ve always wanted to try oil painting but are put off by mess, supplies and fumes, discover the flexibility of Water Based Oils! Water Based Oils are just as effective, and are super easy to use in the home and for outdoor Plein Air painting.

Kristin Olson Stone demystifies the process and shows you what can be achieved in this informative, free Arts Enrichment event.

Kristen Olson Stone is a multi-disciplinary artist who primarily paints in oils.  One of her favorite mediums is Cobra water mixable oils made by Rembrandt paints. In addition to providing tips on what to bring when al fresco she will give a live presentation on the paints.
