Watercolor Painting in the Library

Do you have the winter blues and need something fun to brighten your day? On the other hand, maybe you love winter, and you’d like to paint a picture of a beautiful snow scene. We have a table set up, for the month of January, for you to try your hand at watercolor painting.

The paper, paints, and water are waiting for you at the Clermont College Library. Stop by and see what you can create.

Student Art by Scott Hempleman

Spring semester the Clermont College Library is pleased to exhibit the art of Scott Hempleman.  Scott’s colorful paintings stem from years of drawing fun, imaginative cartoons. Encouraged by his grandfather as well as art teachers at Clermont College, Scott’s vibrant works display a study in color relationship and contrast.

Come check out Scott Hempleman’s work in the library’s Student Art Spotlight through spring 2018.  As always, we thank Fine Arts faculty Kelly Frigard and Kim Taylor for their dedicated support of the Student Art Spotlight since 2015.
