Wekiva Island

Art Demonstration at Gallery CERO with Kate Carney
2025-06-22 15:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Wekiva Island, 1014 Miami Springs Drive, Longwood, FL, 32779, United States
Join us for an inspiring afternoon with artist Kate Carney as she reveals the techniques behind her captivating “living black.” Through a live demonstration, Kate will show how she layers transparent dark hues over a rich red underpainting to bring depth and vibrancy to her depiction of the crow, as seen in the accompanying photo.
Discover the specific colors she favors, her expert mixing methods, and how she achieves the luminous iridescence so characteristic of crow plumage. Each ticket includes a complimentary glass of wine.
Come sip, learn, and be inspired.
