 Library\n\nPresented by Teaching Artist Jenny Santa Maria\n\nUnearth a 
 Story: An Adult Studio Series Inspired by Prehistory\n\nRegistration is 
 limited. Please Register for either the AM or PM session. If signed up for 
 both and spaces fill\, you may be asked to drop a session.\nAll materials

 Workshop\n\nStep back in time and explore the dramatic landscapes of the 
 prehistoric world through color and atmosphere. In this exciting adult 
 watercolor pencil workshop\, participants will create a sunset sky. 
 Watercolor pencil blends the best of both worlds\, with the precision of 
 pencil and the soft beauty of watercolor washes. Once the painted 
 background is complete and dry\, we will use fine tip sharpies to create 
 silhouettes. Using reference images provided for inspiration\, participants 
 will add strong\, graphic prehistoric forms\, such as dinosaurs\, foliage\, 
 or distant land formations\, creating a striking contrast between soft 
 color fields and bold shape. No prerequisite skills required- all are 
 welcome. \n\nDemonstration includes: lesson on how to use watercolor 
 pencil\, observational drawing from references\, best practices for 
 handling materials for control.\n\nAbout the presenter: Jenny Santa Maria
