Intro to Watercolor Landscape with Rick Osann Wednesdays, 1:30 - 3:30 PM, May 7 - June 18 in the Kaleidoscope Studio Join instructor Rick Osann for a seven-week introduction to watercolor with a focus on landscapes. Watercolor is a fun and freeing form of painting that allows paint, paper, water and artist to play together to create luminous works of landscape art. This course is open to everyone and is perfect for beginners or those who are new to the medium. This studio-based course class will explore tools, materials and basic skills with the intent of finding each participant?s vision of the landscape. Over the course of seven-weeks, participants will cover visual art basics such as the elements and principles of design, color, light and shadow, basic drawing and perspective, and how to use them to improve our designs. Drawing experience is not needed. Participants will paint in every class, and will tackle more complex challenges each week and will end the course with at least one completed landscape painting. *No experience necessary | All materials supplied Rick Osann has been painting in watercolor since the early 1970?s. After various careers as a professional Scenic Artist working for stage, film & TV in New York City, and teaching art/theatre/film at Bonny Eagle High School in southern Maine, Rick is now happily focusing on his painting in Bar Harbor, Maine, one of the beautiful places of our world, in his studio adjacent to Acadia National Park. From his background as a theatrical set and lighting designer, Rick is most interested in exploring light, shadow and color in dramatic moments of nature through his painting. His work celebrates the beauty of the Maine landscape.

Sherrie York evokes nature – birds in particular – in award-winning hand-pulled linocuts from her home studio in Bristol, Maine. Her prints have been featured in national and international exhibitions. And now she is going to be at the Wendell Gilley Museum in person to explore with us that special place where nature and art intersect as the museum’s People-Nature-Art presenter for June on Tuesday, June 24. There will be a 6 p.m. artist’s reception followed by her presentation at 7 p.m. which will be in person and simultaneously livecast. Both in-person and online attendance is free, but registration is required. In her linocuts, she strives to represent the interactions of living things both as a moment in time and as a reflection of the wider experience of life on earth. “Human relationships with wild lands and wild creatures are as individual as we are,” she says. “When an image I create sparks a question or reflects an experience familiar to the viewer, it provides an opportunity to share our stories and understand each other’s perspective. Through these stories we celebrate the beauty found in nature, and find common ground to address larger issues of environmental and cultural stewardship.” People-Nature-Art is a free monthly series that brings artists, writers, carvers, and creative types of all kinds to the Gilley to explore how nature and art interact in their work, and how their art impacts their own approach to nature. It is sponsored in part by our friends at Bar Harbor Bank & Trust.

Hike to one of Acadia’s iconic summits AND help Acadia National Park’s efforts to restore native vegetation! Acadia National Park, in collaboration with Friends of Acadia and Schoodic Institute, invites tenacious hikers to bring bags of soil to the summits of Penobscot and Sargent Mountains. You’ll get to choose how much soil you’ll carry – carrying as little as five pounds (about the size of a large freezer ziplock bag) is a huge help! This soil is integral to the ongoing summit restoration efforts in Acadia National Park.

Parkman Mountain Carriage Road Trailhead off Route 3 in Acadia National Park. Participants will hike up to the summit of either Penobscot Mountain or Sargent Mountain.
