Let's paint this week before cooking and gathering with family. Two options are offered in replay videos ( www.ShowcaseArtCenter.com video class page- subscription $10/month required) this week: Northern Lights and Turkeys. Since we were blessed to see the Northern Lights in Colorado a few weeks ago, let's commemorate the event with some fun watercolor techniques to make mini paintings. These could become cards or tree ornaments very easily. Classes this week at Showcas

Let's allow watercolor to be loose and juicy doing what it does best: dripping, mingling, and blossoming. A scalene triangle composition becomes a trinity nativity scene. Practice a lot by hand-painting all your Christmas cards or have a local copy shop reproduce cards using your favorite painting. This video is up now at www.Showcaseartcenter.com . We will meet for classes at the Showcase this week: 10:00-noon Tuesday for independent projects 1:30-3:30 PM Tuesday Step-by
