5 things to do in and around Victoria today, Wednesday September 5th

It’s been a long relaxing weekend, but now it’s time to get back to the grind!

Check out these five events to make the transition smoother:

What: In this class we will explore ways to make your watercolour paintings bolder, brighter, and more powerful. The sessions will focus on materials, secondly on how to create strong value contrasts in your work, and finally, how to use colour intensity to your advantage. You will be asked to bring examples of your own work that you feel are too timid, dull or muddy, as well as reference material that you want to work form and your usual paints and papers.
When: 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Where: Coast Collective Art Centre – 103-318 Wale Road, Colwood
