February is the month of love! Learn the techniques, tips and tricks of acrylic paint pouring just in time to make a beautiful painting for Valentine’s Day. You’ve probably seen those cool, swirly and colorful paintings online, and they’re not hard to make. Once you get the techniques down, you won’t want to stop.

Most materials are provided however, I ask that you bring three bottles of liquid acrylic paint (any brand except Apple Barrel) that you like or match your decor. Materials provided include: canvas, pouring medium/Floetrol, serum, gloves, canvas, white and black paint, pouring cups, stirrers, and paper towels. Very messy project so dress accordingly! Please note you will need to let your painting cure at the Gallery at least overnight. You can come back to the Gallery and pick it up during business hours Sunday or make an afternoon-evening appointment during the week.

All experience levels and ages welcome!
DETAILS: Saturday, February 4, 1pm-3pm.
Bottlebrush Gallery & Center for the Arts 539 Main Street Harmony, PA 16037

Buy Art & Support a Charity!

Posted on 08 October 2020 (0)

The Bottlebrush Gallery & Center for the Arts is proud to partner with Pittsburgh radio and television personality Doug Oster in a fundraising initiative for Hair Peace Charities, a southwestern Pennsylvania organization supporting women and girls experiencing hair loss as a result of their cancer treatment.  

While you may know Doug as Pittsburgh’s own “gardening guy”, he’s also an accomplished photographer. Doug’s beautiful and well-composed photographs caught our eye, and as the winding path of life goes, we’re hosting Doug’s work in the Gallery to support a charity of his choice.

“On the Lake at Sunset” is the first in a series of matted, framed 11”x14” photographs currently on display and available for purchase at the Gallery. Priced at $150, a portion of each sale will be donated to Hair Peace Charities.

About Hair Peace Charities: Hair Peace Charities helps women and girls in Southwestern Pennsylvania who have lost their hair due to treatment for cancer to purchase a wig. This in turn helps them regain their sense of identity, control, and self-esteem. As a faith-based organization, HPC also seeks to provide for the spiritual and emotional needs of its clients and their families. For more information on HPC, please visit:  http://www.hairpeace.org/donate-wigs

About Doug Oster: Doug is an Emmy-winning producer, television host and author of 5 books, with the most recent being “The Steel City Garden: Creating a One-of-a-Kind Garden in Black and Gold.” He is the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s Home and Garden editor, co-host of the radio show The Organic Gardeners (KDKA Radio) and appears every Thursday on KDKA-TV’s Pittsburgh Today.
