LOCA (Laguna Outreach for Community Arts) Arts Education and the Laguna Plein Air Painters Assn. are collaborating on a workshop titled Watercolors by the Beach, which starts at 10 a.m. Sunday. Adults, families and beginners are invited.

Participants will observe plein air artists painting the scenic shoreline of Treasure Island Park and then enjoy a guided tour of the tidepools at low tide. Following that, a LOCA instructor will teach easy steps in painting watercolor renderings of starfish and ocean life. Everyone will take home a reusable canvas tote, watercolor kit, journal, pencil and more.

The program is supported by a grant from the city of Laguna Beach. Cost is $35 for adults and children ages 5 and older. Register at LOCAarts.org, call (949) 363-4700 or go to locaarts.org/event/watercolors-by-the-beach/.
