Watercolor Wednesdays class started in 2022 and brings people together to learn a few new watercolor techniques and enjoy creative time with family and friends both new and old.
Primarily a fiber artist, Kristen's weekly watercolor journey has added to her mixed media artmaking toolbox. She loves the challenge of each class and has enjoyed spending time with old friends and new!
This class, taught by artist, teacher and gallerist Keri Davis, features 1-2 techniques allowing each class to stand alone.
Susan loves meeting up with her friend Elise every week to enjoy painting together, lunch and additional weekly painting challenges out side of class. Having a regular class keeps their creative momentum.
The Pacesetter Gallery Motto:
LIVE WITH ART. INSPIRE YOUR LIFE.
We really focus on meeting people where they are at Pacesetter Gallery. Everyone has a different set of skills, interests, and things that inspire them. We find ways to help people live with art and live well.
Three generations come together
and create wonderful family memories
and art that reminds them of this special day.
Each class is a stand alone lesson so you will never feel behind, you can just jump right in!
If its a real food, we will probably have to full research it and eat it. Life and art are a full body experience!

Located in the Dogwood area, many of our painters do some gallery shopping and head out for lunch at one of the many great local restaurants.
In the words of longtime Watercolor Wednesday painter Linda Peters, "I am here for the ambiance!" Linda has attended Watercolor Wednesdays and has seen her skills grow and has made many new friends.

"Each class I teach I pick the techniques and then challenge myself to come up with a new theme to teach those techniques. From still life, florals, abstracts, landscapes, we have created so many amazing pieces in this class that are one day 5"x7" paintings.
Many artists keep them in one place as a record of their growth and to remember the techniques and many will mail them to friends and family, which is meaningful to the gifter and the receiver. Its a blessing to teach this group, I learn from them all the time and I love being a part of this creative community."
