'Sip and Create' with the experts

SHOHOLA — The Barryville Area Arts Association is hosting a "Sip and Create" painting party from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Friday, May 13, at the Artists’ Market Community Center, 114 Richardson Ave., Shohola.
Unlike many painting parties, several accomplished artists will be on hand to consult with at four different stations.
A live model will be at one station, with drawing boards, paper, and charcoal provided. Local artist and professor Joan Standora will guide beginners and lead the model through various poses.
The still-life station will include an arrangement of fruits, flowers, boxes, and other shapes, along with art markers, paper, pastels, paints, canvas, and a facilitator to help first-time and intermediate artists.
At the collage station, multi-media artist Mef Gannon will facilitate use of glue, scrapbook pages, fabric, and other materials. Guests are welcome to bring any personal items they'd like included.
A coloring book station will include pages and pages from coloring books for adults, along with art markers, colored pencils, and other materials.
The association will have ready all the materials and supplies needed to participate as well as soft drinks, mixers, and light refreshments. Guests are welcome to BYOB.
