Twenty students will participate in the second annual overnight lock-in painting marathon later this month at Washburn Rural High School.

Local artist's workshop helps students prepare for lock-in

To prepare for the event, local artist Barbara Waterman-Peters shared her artworks and painting techniques with the students in an workshop this morning.

The marathon starts at 9 p.m. next Friday, and students will stay up all night working on their paintings.

"It's something different. Just to have 12 hours where you can come together and create a work of art rather than just like 45 minutes during the week. Something different though," says Brad LeDuc of Washburn Rural High School.

Students' paintings will be sold at a silent auction in Southwind Gallery, with proceeds benefiting the Washburn Rural Art Department.
