Art on the Patio Watercolor Demo with Margaret Mohr at PV Art Center
2026-04-18 11:00 - 16:00 | Palos Verdes Art Center, 5504 Crestridge Road, Rancho Palos Verdes, California, 90275, United States
Spring has arrived on the Peninsula, and what better way to celebrate than watching flowers come to life…twice?

On Saturday, April 18th, from 11 am to 4 pm, watercolor artist Margaret Mohr joins us for a free Art on the Patio demo, sharing her unique techniques of mixing color directly on the page and layering watercolors to create the soft, luminous florals she’s known for.

Margaret’s path to fine art is a story in itself. After more than 40 years in commercial art, designing everything from illustrations to comic books,she discovered that watercolor was the medium that let her tell a different kind of story. Today, her paintings celebrate the beauty of the natural world as an expression of faith, and her new book, Heaven Sent, Paintings by Margaret Mohr, brings that vision together in gorgeous detail. Copies will be available in the Artists’ Studio Gift Shop and Gallery Store at Palos Verdes Art Center, perfect for a gift or a little inspiration to take home.

And there is more: Margaret’s demo coincides with the annual Orchid Show in the Palos Verdes Art Center Atrium. So you can browse stunning orchids, maybe bring one home, and then step out to the patio to learn how to paint it. That’s what we call a full-circle Saturday.
