Free Demo by Laurin McCracken
2026-10-18 16:00 - 17:30 | Bee Cave Arts Foundation, Hill Country Blvd Suite F160, Austin, Texas, 78738, United States
We are thrilled to host a demonstration, open to the public by this renowned artist.

Save the date for the rare opportunity to see a master at work.

Laurin McCraken 3 Day Workshop
2026-10-19 09:00 - 2026-10-21 16:00 | Bee Cave Arts Foundation, Hill Country Blvd Suite F160, Austin, Texas, 78738, United States
Laurin says: When I look at the world and think about what I might paint I am reminded of the quote from Henry David Thoreau: “It is not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” Then I ask myself, “Can I paint that in watercolor?”

Laurin will help us depict not just the obvious subjects of our paintings but also, all the surrounding life reflected there. You can see why there is such enthusiasm to learn from him.

Mr. McCracken holds signature memberships in the Transparent Watercolor Society of America, the National Watercolor Society, the Watercolor Honor Society, and over a dozen others. His prizes and awards are too numerous to mention here.

Waterloo Watercolor Group will host a free demo on the afternoon of Sunday, October 18th 4:00 5:30PM
