Patients and their caregivers will soon have a new way to express themselves at City of Hope: through the power of the paintbrush.

Pediatric neuro-oncologist Clarke Anderson, M.D., will lead the upcoming free, three-part watercolor class. Designed for beginners, the class will cover various techniques, art supplies, composition and even advanced special effects. Participants will complete a painting during each session.

The Department of Supportive Care Medicine and the Sheri & Les Biller Patient and Family Resource Center sponsor the class. It will be held from 2:30 to 4 p.m., Feb. 17 and 24 and March 3 in the Biller Patient and Family Resource Center activity room.

Registration is required. To sign up, call the Biller Patient and Family Resource Center at 626-256-4673, ext. 32273 (3CARE).
