Matinees, 2 p.m.: Oct. 28; Nov. 4

Matinees, 2 p.m.: Nov. 25; Dec. 2

Brown County Art Guild member artists Rena Brouwer and Wyatt LeGrand.

Participants can choose their medium or explore both oil/pastel painting with LeGrand and water-color with Brouwer.

The workshop will be taught at Waycross Retreat Center.

The cost is $175 for the workshop only; overnight accom-modations, if needed, are priced separately.

Payment and accommoda-tions reservations are due by Friday, Oct. 19. For workshop de-tails or questions, call the Brown County Art Guild at 988-6185.

Brouwer grew up in Lafayette. She teaches watercolor throughout Indiana and lectures in private and public institutions and colleges. She has been designated by the state as an Indiana Artisan. She is resident artist for the Opera House Gallery of Contemporary Art in Delphi. Her work is exhibited at the Brown County Guild, where she has been an artist member since 2007.

Brouwer will expand on tra-ditional watercolor approaches and encourage participants to explore the possibilities of self-expression through color, shape and line.

LeGrand grew up in Bloom-fi eld. After graduating high school in 2005, he earned a de-gree in visual arts education from Indiana University. He also im-mersed himself in the study of art history and other art forms, be-coming an equally accomplished draftsman, ceramicist, sculptor and metalsmith. However, it was always painting with oils that thrilled him most. During the summer of 2009, he opened LeGrand Art Studio and Gallery just outside his hometown. He has been an artist member at the Brown County Art Guild since 2011.
