Canandaigua artist Pat Rini Rohrer established the Pat Rini Rohrer Gallery in 2003. It is located in a beautifully refurbished 1850s building on Main Street in downtown Canandaigua, a thriving art community. What is especially unique about this gallery are the Studio II Workshops taught by various artists. Classes are held in large, clean, and bright studio spaces at the back of the building. Students at all levels of ability can take classes in painting, drawing, pastels, collage, and many other disciplines. The artist/owner’s studio is also designed into this total “art scene.”

Introduction to Watercolor Workshop with Nancy Lane
Long time painter Nancy Lane will launch you into the world of watercolor! You’ll start by experimenting with brushes, paint and different papers, discussing the best materials to use. You’ll learn ways to control the paint, or allow it do some of the magical things watercolor is known for. We’ll paint a palette color guide together, and mix color. We’ll learn how to mask, glaze, soften edges and lift paint as we paint a winter scene together. There is a supply list for a suggested range of materials for this workshop class.

Oil Winter Scenes with Steve Bondurant
Is snow white? Not really, when reflecting and absorbing ambient and filtered light, in shadow and highlight. From the warmth of the studio, we’ll spend two Saturday afternoons exploring the satisfaction of capturing the nuances and mood of a winter day. We will focus on exploiting color temperature and value relationships to develop a cohesive painting. Register and look for opportunities to snap a picture to bring for reference. There is a supply list for a suggested range of materials for this workshop.
