Date: March 11, Time:? 1:30 - 3:30pm

2 Sessions total 5 hours

Water-Mixable Oils are a perfect balance – the blending time of oils with the super easy clean up of water.

Water-mixable oils are real oils, they are water mixable.

Brushes and palettes Clean up with soap and water rather than using a solvent.

They have a lovely buttery consistency, a long working time which enables you to make changes over a longer period of time, blending colors, adjusting shapes, or working wet-into-wet with nice thick marks.

This is open to ALL Student Levels:

The Belmar Arts Center wants to join in celebrating Belmar’s 150th Anniversary in a way that reflects our appreciation for their continued partnership, generosity and support over the years.

We would like to further our founding mission of making life in Belmar better through the arts and acquire and install a weatherproof outdoor piano in Pyanoe Plaza and honor former residents David Sancious and his mother Stelma.
