Open Studio
Help Broad Strokes Gallery create a new tradition. Every 1st and third Monday, 9 am to noon, we will provide space in the back of the main gallery to set up and paint. This will not be a workshop. It will be an opportunity to bring your own reference material and paint with other artists. Tables will be available Bring your easel, canvas/paper, paper towels, paints, odorless solvent, water container and any other materials you usually use. Canvas or panels under 16 x 20” would be best. We will offer still life and perhaps a model in future sessions. This is a no cost, on going activity. We look forward to seeing you. |
