Katharine Fletcher’s Get Art Watercolour Wonder Workshop with Parents’ Voice children and parents took place at the community lodge in Shawville on April 28.

“I taught perspective, framing and masking (with tape),” Fletcher said. “Then we created a watercolour wash and sprinkled salt on the wet paint to create ‘stars’. Final touch? Sparkle glue to make a moonglow!”

“It’s always such a pleasure to teach art in my community,” she continued. “I enjoy seeing what the children create: Each artwork is unique to their perspective and composition. Fun!”

Get Art is a collective of Pontiac artists (Tanya McCormick, Michael Peterson and Katharine Fletcher) who bring art into Pontiac communities, from Breckenridge to Shawville and beyond. Want art? Contact Get Art: contactgetart@gmail.com.
