Escondido, Ca. – July 3, 2019 — The Education Department at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido is hosting another free 2nd Saturday art lesson on Saturday, July 13, 2019.
Salt is a fun, experimental tool to use when watercolor painting. Salt painting, or what is also commonly called salt technique, is very easy to do, and the results can be surprisingly wonderful.
Join the fun and watch the colors blend and mix as you create your ocean-themed salt painting masterpiece as we cannon-ball into summer!
Try your hand at a colorful jellyfish, or create a peaceful starfish coastal landscape.
Geared towards families, but open to all, 2nd Saturday art lessons provide a space to participate in a free hands-on art activity with materials provided.
All lessons are led by our Center Teaching Artist, Nancy Robinson.
