Kanuga Watercolor/Watermedia Workshops
Hendersonville, NC | March 22-27, 2009

2009 Details & Rates

The 24th Annual Kanuga Watercolor Workshops, March 22-27, 2009 will be held at the Kanuga Conference Center in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

The workshops offer the student a choice of twelve artist-instructors or independent study . The instructors have been chosen for their ability to help painters develop and advance their skills. All levels of painters are invited. Painting is always a learning experience. Our goal is to help painters sharpen their critical awareness and discover painting gratification.

All instructors will conduct their individual classes in assigned classrooms. Each student works with one selected instructor the entire workshop. Classes are limited to 26 students, though most classes tend to be smaller.

The Kanuga Conference Center is located close to Hendersonville, N.C., and Interstates 26, 40 and 85; and, is served by the Asheville Airport. All workshop activities are held on the 1,400-acre campus.
