No Brush Painting—Let’s Use a Palette
Knife (Acrylic) with
Jane Sellier. 9AM to Noon (6 Weeks-Begins
Sept. 19 to Oct 31)
A brush is
the most obvious implement for applying paint but paint can also be put on with
a knife made for the purpose. Knife painting is an exciting and expressive
technique and it creates effects quite different from any which can be achieved
with a brush. The knife squeezes and flattens the paint on the surface creating
energetic and lively effects. Like brushstrokes, the marks can be varied
according to their direction, size or the amount of pressure you apply or
the thickness of the paint. Join in the fun, learn something new to
enhance your acrylic paintings!

How to paint like you . . . . . . .

(Oil Paint) with Ted Burn
9AM to Noon 8 Weeks (Sept. 14 to
Nov. 9)
Every painter has a potential style that is unique to them
and when they develop properly could produce some spectacular work.
In my class I plan to create projects that will help each
artist to develop their style while learning some techniques and tools that
will help you to improve your work. In some instances we might copy another
artist to learn what they were thinking about when they did their work. We will paint from our own photographs and
learn how to turn an average shot into a much better painting. We will also
paint from still life while learning how to build a dramatic and more
simple still life. Sometimes very simple things can make a really good
painting. We will learn how to use color
to add depth, how to use edges to lead a person around the painting and how to
use space to create drama.
That's a lot to teach (and learn) in an 8 week course. I
plan to continue the class in 8 week segments on a regular basis.
We will definitely have fun and will "all" learn
together. Yes, the teacher learns stuff, too.
Some
experience recommended.

Exploring Design with Colored Pencil with Nancy Wininger 8 weeks (Sept. 15 to Nov. 10)
Come explore the art of the colored pencil and design. This course will cover tight, shadows and
still life composition. Students will participate
in creating multiple still life setups, so please bring in one or more of your
favorite pieces (cup, bowl shell, figurine, cloth, etc.) to be included in the
still life setups. Bring your camera to
take pictures so that you can work from home in necessary. We will agree on one setup at a time and the
instructor will provide a tracing from your favorite picture for the next
