The Oregon Coast Council for the Arts will offer a variety of creative opportunities at the Newport Visual Arts Center this spring. Registration is now open.

“Introductory Watercolor,” led by Robin Berry, will take place on Wednesdays, from 10 a.m. to noon, April 9-30. Attendees will get to know the beautiful effects and colorful possibilities that can be achieved using watercolor, and explore various techniques, brushes, and materials designed for the beginning painter. The four-week course is for adults (and youth ages 16 and over with accompanying adult), and tuition is $225* (all materials included).
