Watercolor Classes

A graduate of The Philadelphia College of Art, Lesia Sochor is a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher who believes “anyone has the ability to create.” While her classes focus on technical skills like edge control, tonal values and composition, she also encourages students to discover personal style and creative interpretation.

Sochor has lived, painted, exhibited and taught in Maine for 30 years. She has been a visiting artist in Maine schools through the Maine Arts Commission, and she co-founded the Art Annex, a school in Belfast for youth and adults. She teaches annual art programs at Waterfall Arts and is currently teaching a teen program at Ironwood in Morrill, Maine.

Watercolor classes run from 9 a.m. to noon most Thursdays throughout the year. Class size is limited, so pre-registration is required. The cost for a four-class session is $150, with a $15 discount for Merryspring members; a five-class session is $190 with a $20 discount for Merryspring members.  To register please call 236-2239 or email us at info@merryspring.org.
