Class Description:
The workshop with Anne Abgott will be three days, although registrants can take only one day if they choose. Anne will do a different image each day. Each day will involve demos with Anne, showing you how to work through the painting from saving the white paper to the direction of light to the background. For each day, you will prepare by making a black and white copy of the image and have it drawn on either a quarter or a half sheet of 300 lb. watercolor paper prior to class. Anne asks that you do not do any masking ahead of class with the exception of the bike project (masking guide provided with supply list).

October 6 - Day three will be the Bismarck Palm: Anne doesn't usually teach this project because the image is a bit more complicated, but she's simplified it for us, so let's give it a go! Anne is looking forward to painting it in a workshop for the first time with us.

Class Description:
In this two-day workshop students will do exercises that will help them to make their own unique marks as a surprise element for their work. You will build upon that mark making process through negative painting, color mixing, and design formats. Students will play with these ideas along with the possibilities that will emerge as they work transparently and opaque paints in watercolor, acrylic, or both. This workshop will engage your intuitive creativity. Demos, group discussions and constructive critiques, along with painting time, are a part of this workshop.

Class Description:
Do you want to use bolder colors that make your paintings pop? Would you like your artwork to have a looser, less controlled feel? In Jane’s workshop, she’ll show you why acrylic is the perfect solution. Without forgoing the important building blocks of good design, you’ll be encouraged to experiment and find success outside your comfort zone. You’ll learn how to “paint with less restraint” while bringing energy and artistic spirit to your work. In her casual and charismatic way, she’ll challenge you to complete up to two paintings each day as you discover the freedom of acrylics. Through daily demos Jane will show you her free-form technique and style, but she’ll always encourage you to develop your own freedom and artistic viewpoint.
