B4 AMERIC AN PRESS THURSDAY , AUGUST 27, 201 5 CURTAINS Continued from B1 SCENE Beginning Sept. 2, Stellar Beans Coffee House and Edibles will host “Waterworks,” an exhibition of watercolors by students of local art teacher Sue Zimmermann. Zimmermann has led a watercolor class for adult painters for more than five years at the Associated Louisiana Artists’ Creative Arts Center. Though the paintings are all from one class, she said the mixed personal styles and technical skill of the 13 artists lead to an interest- ing mix of works and subjects. “People are at different levels of skill. Most of them are at the intermediate level,” she said. “There’s some still life and other things like landscapes and some semi-abstract.” Another point of interest is the unique variations the medium brings to the painting process. Zim- mermann said watercolors come with a unique set of challenges for artists. “Watercolor skills are a little different than painting with oils or acrylic, because watercolors h ave their own properties,” she said. “Waterco lors will spread; you h ave to know how to contain them. It’s kind of the opposite of oils.” The artists exhibiting are Marjo- rie Cormier, Beth Fontenot, Janice Guillot, Jan Kalna, Cathy King, Regina Lee, Judy Newman, Nancy Peace, Cookie Phillips, Jena Price, Jan Scharrier , Debbie Self and Zim- mermann. There will also be some pieces by the late Bobby Moon, as well as a memorial for her. Moon, who joined the class when it first beg an five years ago, remained part of it until her recent death. “She was with me from the be- ginning,” Zimmermann said. “She was a wonderful painter.” The exhibit will be open through Sept. 30 during Stellar Bean’s hours of operation, 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Monda y- Wednesda y; 7 a.m.-9 p.m. Thursday- Saturday; and 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday. On Sept. 25, during the Gallery Promenade, the class will host an artists’ reception 5-9 p.m. on the first floor of Historic City Hall, 1001 Ryan St. Zimmermann encouraged people to come to the reception, visit Stellar Beans and lend their support to a class of burgeoning artists. “We’d like people to come out and see the variety of watercolors, mainly to show off how far these people have come in their own skill level,” she said. “It’s just to show people how far they’ve come and give them incen- tive to keep going and show their art.
