Class Description:
Ways to develop your own personal painting style will be explored by this master of creativity and expression. Variation and simplification in design, influence of color, and the use of abstract images are some of the essentials which will be explored. You will learn to see and understand Judi’s concept of ‘magical shapes”; as well as discover new ways to see and capture mood and emotion. The workshop’s focus is to assist the artist in creating their own expressive paintings. In addition to planning landscapes, you may want to further develop your skills with animal and human figures.
 
With over 100 awards to her credit, Judi is a painter who also teaches. Her paintings are known for their luminosity, humor and sparkle. Judi’s classes are spirited and upbeat, fun and constructive. The lectures and demos are designed to encourage, expand and explore. It’s recommended that you bring many photographs to work from. Participants are encouraged to bring a few finished paintings or sketchbooks for professional review with Judi. Daily challenges are given which are personalized to each student’s level of experience...SOMETHING EXCITING!

Class Description:
Beginning with collaging neutral fiber papers onto watercolor paper, the students will add a wire drawing (a drawing that is done with a permanent marker and looks like a wire sculpture). Students will complete the painting using watercolor. The second painting will involve students painting a floral of their choice and adding wire drawing. This is Karen’s very favorite thing to do! When learning to “wire draw”, wrong lines are actually good.
Wire drawing helps you to become a better artist. So, if you struggle with your drawing, this is the class for you! Design tips will be shared, along with color tips. Karen gives lots of individual attention, and believes that painting should be fun and easy.

Class Description:
A variety of tips, textures, and techniques will be shared as this beautiful tea arrangement is artistically brought to life.  Students will be taught how to render antique metallic surfaces, painted and dimpled pottery, wood grain and knots, soft fabric, and several different food textures.  Instructional emphasis will be placed on the burnishing technique, which transitions the appearance of a colored pencil drawing into one of a richly saturated painting.
 
Each student will be provided with a packet that includes a lightly outlined paper surface, a glossy tutorial booklet with step-by-step text and visuals, a full-size reference photo of the artwork, and a “Cheat Sheet” that lists the exact pencil progression for each demo.  During the course of the workshop, students will participate in the various demos taught, and individual critiques and instruction will occur after each demo.  Artists will be provided with sufficient guidance and materials to complete this project on their own should they desire to do so.  Follow-up instruction and feedback will be offered online after the workshop is over.

Class Description:
A variety of tips, textures, and techniques will be shared as this delicate floral arrangement is artistically brought to life.  Students will be taught how to render a glass vase containing water and stems, create beautiful pink peonies, and develop a softly blurred backdrop and foreground that elegantly stage this still life.  Instructional emphasis will be placed on the burnishing technique, which transitions the appearance of a colored pencil drawing into one of a richly saturated painting.
 
Each student will be provided with a packet that includes a lightly outlined paper surface, a glossy tutorial booklet with step-by-step text and visuals, a full-size reference photo of the artwork, and a “Cheat Sheet” that lists the exact pencil progression for each demo.  During the course of the workshop, students will participate in the various demos taught, and individual critiques and instruction will occur after each demo.  Artists will be provided with sufficient guidance and materials to complete this project on their own should they desire to do so.  Follow-up instruction and feedback will be offered online after the workshop is over.
