Overview

Event Overview

Join us in Montauk for a hands-on experience of art and nature! Participants will create watercolors using sustainable, earth-friendly materials. After a brief orientation, participants will explore the stunning surroundings of the Andy Warhol Preserve and use their own digital camera, such as one on a smartphone, to capture photos of textures, colors and other inspiration. The walk will be followed by a hands-on session where participants create artworks that reflect their connection to the preserve and capture the textures, colors and essence of the landscape around them. The workshop will culminate in a group sharing session, where participants can display their finished pieces and discuss their creative process and inspiration.
