Red River Watercolor Society is pleased to announce their 9th Annual “Art at the Lake” Workshop September 23 – 25, 2016 “Look around you and Take Inspiration” In past years we have always had one featured guest teacher for the weekend of art and relaxation at Northern Pines.

Anne Kaese teaches watercolor, calligraphy and bookmaking in the 5 state area and at art retreats across the nation. She is a vocal and passionate supporter of the heritage arts.
