North Valley Art League is looking for plein air painters to paint outside of the gallery on Saturday, May 9, during the AAUW Garden Tour.

Interested artists should contact Diedra Malain at dmalain@gmail.com

At Carter House Gallery, Tuesdays from 5 - 7:00 PM

Starting April 14, 2026, 10 sessions

$150 per student for all 10 sessions. Sign up and pay in the NVAL Gallery or online here. Bring your own materials or let Mel provide you with a beginning kit.

Mel is a graduate of California College of the Arts and has taught beginning watercolor classes in the Redding area for many years. Starting with the basic wash, Mel will demonstrate the use of salt,

plastic wraps and other materials to create interesting textures and moods. Perspective and the correct use of shadow and composition will be discussed to help make your painting more interesting.

If you don't have materials, please contact Mel (mljackson8@yahoo.com) before the class, and he

will provide a basic set up for you the first day. Package will include paint, palette, brushes, paper, and tape. You will have enough material, except for paper, for the entire ten weeks and

beyond. Approximate cost for materials is $100.

Above all else, come to have fun!

Spring Fling – A Paint & Sip Tea Party in the Garden

Sunday, May 3rd | 1–4 pm

Give yourself the gift of a relaxing spring afternoon of art, tea, and blooming beauty—a creative mini-retreat to reconnect, restore, and explore.

Slow down, sip tea, and savor the season as you create your own one-of-a-kind painting. You’ll be guided through gently structured yet open-ended processes that encourage personal expression and allow your unique style to unfold naturally.

Gather with friends (or come make new ones!) and join us for an artful afternoon in the garden.

$55 All supplies and light refreshments are included, and no experience is needed. Simply relax, have fun, and let your creativity blossom! Sign up at the gallery or online here.

Flower Power – Abstract Expressionist Florals

Saturday, May 30th | 5–8 pm

Step into a vibrant evening of color, creativity, and joyful expression. In this uplifting workshop, you’ll explore abstract expressionist florals—loosening up, trusting your intuition, and letting your inner artist lead the way.

Enjoy a welcoming, inspiring atmosphere as you create your own bold and beautiful floral painting. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just beginning, this experience is all about freedom, fun, and creative flow.



$55 All supplies and light refreshments included. Come ready to play, connect, and bring your unique vision to life. Sign up at the gallery or online here.
