Local artist's workshop helps students prepare for lock-in

By 49 News staff

Twenty students will participate in the second annual overnight lock-in painting marathon later this month at Washburn Rural High School.

To prepare for the event, local artist Barbara Waterman-Peters shared her artworks and painting techniques with the students in an workshop this morning.


"It's something different. Just to have 12 hours where you can come together and create a work of art rather than just like 45 minutes during the week. Something different though," says Brad LeDuc of Washburn Rural High School.

Students' paintings will be sold at a silent auction in Southwind Gallery during the First Friday Art Walk March 5, 2009 with proceeds benefiting the Washburn Rural Art Department.
