Fountain Hills Artists' Gallery offers summer workshops

For those interested in finding their inner artist, The Fountain Hills Artists’ Gallery is offering a few workshops through the end of summer with no experience required.

“Desert Lights” is a workshop led by Gloria M. Sanchez Tuesday, Aug. 13, from 5 to 8 p.m. For $55, participants will take a step-by-step process to paint two colorful saguaros against a bright, vivid Arizona sky.

Every participant will get Swarovski crystals in various sizes and colors to add sparkle to their saguaros.

The class is limited to eight students.

“Paint Your Pet” is a favorite workshop and will be held Sunday, Aug. 25, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

In this workshop, Acrylic Artist Kelly Bowman will guide participants to paint their pet or favorite animal in acrylics on a 9”x12” canvas.

Participants must email Bowman a picture of their pet, and Bowman will sketch it onto the canvas, which will be ready when participants arrive. The class is limited to six students. The $70 fee includes all supplies. Bowman’s email will be given at registration.

Registration for workshops must be completed at the Fountain Hills Artists’ Gallery prior to the workshop,  and the fee paid to guarantee a seat. If paying by check or cash, stop by The Fountain Hills Artists’ Gallery to register. No credit cards are accepted.

The Fountain Hills Artists’ Gallery is located at 16858 E. Avenue of the Fountains, Suite #103, and is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
