Class Description:
Join us for inspiring demonstrations, lectures, encouragement and practice. You’ll learn how to coax hints of reality from an abstract background, how to control values and colors for emotional emphasis, and how to suggest rather than delineate. You'll explore working intuitively, responding to what shows up, using collage, and mixing and utilizing neutrals for softer, more ethereal abstracts. We’ll touch on notions of confidence, procrastination, vulnerability, curiosity, courage, talent, play, inspiration, intuition, your mean critic, metaphor, symbolic elements, competition, marketing, your belief systems, finding balance, and more! Joan is especially gifted in helping students gain more freedom in the creative process and discover their own unique artistic voice. She believes that people are more open to learning and inspiration when they are having fun, so her workshops are filled with laughter and lightness. A multitude of approaches and techniques will give beginners encouragement and confidence, while more advanced students will benefit from Joan’s insightful solutions to their artistic challenges. This 3-day class will offer inspiration for all levels of experience. Click for Joan Fullerton's Bio Click for Supply List Click for Places to Purchase Needed Supplies |

Class Description:
Although portrait painting can be very intimidating, Fealing will teach you how to relax and enjoy the process as you discover the spontaneity and uniqueness to watercolor. You will also learn how to capture the quality of light available to you. You will achieve a level of transparency with your images and develop an understanding of head architecture that will give you the confidence to take on even the most challenging portraits. Award winning watercolorist, Fealing combines semi-abstract strokes and impressionistic concepts to elicit life and movement in her portrait and figure paintings. There will be daily lecture, exercise and demo. Fealing will assist and critique student’s works whatever way she could, and allow the students to work on their own pace. During this workshop, learn how value and temperature change, as well as how to use transparent glazing to allow the glow of the paper to shine through. By balancing colors and weaving lights and darks, you will achieve painterly and successful paintings. She will spend time in the workshop discussing the value and essentials of a good drawing, although the focus will be on painting.

Class Description:
Proper values for the foreground, middle ground and background is the key for the depth of a successful cityscape/landscape painting. This workshop will be focusing on how to separate them to interlock these grounds with value studies. Furthermore, the possible formats will be explored for the strong composition and design.

Please bring some photo references with strong light and shadow patterns. Avoid scenes that are too complicated or too flat. We will be working on values and shapes, not details. You might want to do some drawing at home to save time at the workshop.
Refer to the supply list, but use colors and paper sizes you are comfortable with. Do bring some larger brushes, though. Bring mats for showing your work at the critique. Click for Fealing Lin's Bio Click for Supply List Click for Places to Purchase Needed Supplies |

Class Description:
Water-soluble colored pencils combine the precision and control of pencil drawing with the fluid possibilities of watercolor paint. Have fun exploring the many ways these versatile drawing tools can be used – wet or dry, alone or for mixed media. They're great for artists’ journals and plein air work, for sketching or for serious artwork, and they mix well with pen and ink and traditional watercolor. Derwent, leading makers and innovators in this fine art medium, will provide all the pencils used in use in this class – there are six different kinds, in ranges of 12 – 72 colors. Pencils will be shared in class but all participants will get a 6-color set of one type to keep. Paper will also be provided by leading manufacturers.
