The Austin Area Art Center is excited to host a drawing and watercolor workshop to be held by Bonnie Broitzman.

Broitzman has been a professional art instructor her whole life, (B.A. in Art Education from North Central College, Naperville, IL and M.A. from Hamline University in St. Paul, MN) and derives great pleasure from helping others achieve success in portraying the human face. She will begin with some basic sketching exercises that will help you to capture the essence of portrait drawing more quickly and confidently. From there she will guide you step by step through the process of portrait painting with watercolors.

The workshop will be held at the Austin Area Art Center located in the Oak Park Mall, Austin, MN. The three-day course will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17, through Wednesday, Oct. 19. The fee for this opportunity is $135 for Art Center members and $150 for non-members.
