This workshop covers linear as well as atmospheric perspective, drawing basics and aspects of painting light.

Regardless of style, sound design and compositional aspects in using light is discovered in order to direct the eye. You will examine the “how to’s” of massing and organizing darks and lights, value and color relationships, edges, direction and other important design applications in creating dynamic paintings. Carr also demonstrates how to work from field sketches, value studies and a combination of photos. You are encouraged to bring in paintings and drawings for critique for open discussion, and your favorite photos, especially ones saved for that “challenging” painting. Come prepared to have fun!

Daily instruction is followed by student engagement in this think – write – paint – share workshop. Kathy teaches with warmth, humor, enthusiasm, and insight.

Janet Rogers, AWS
June 7 to 11, 2010
"Watercolor Rhythms With flowers, Faces and Figures"
Cost: $475.00
All Levels
www.watercolorsbyrogers.com

Fresh flowers in the studio will be the inspiration for the beginning of this dynamic workshop – progressing to the portrait/figure. Through a series of “fun” painting exercises, students will develop a more loose and natural approach – giving them an opportunity to be more spontaneous and expressive in their paintings. A few drawing exercises will be included for the portrait. Many “features” will be covered!! - including children’s portraits. Some students may want to paint just portraits or just flowers, although the demonstrations and instruction are geared to beginning with flowers and ending with the portrait/figure.

Janet will demonstrate her intuitive approach throughout the workshop and work individually with each student, as well as class instruction. “Show and Tell” sessions will be included so that students can see their progression as well as their fellow students. This is always an invaluable tool.

Some of the goals for the workshop will be to discover new color and design, applying transparent flesh tones, finding the “life” in paintings, and for students to experience their own unique “connections” in watercolor.

Janet has won numerous awards from exhibiting her watercolors, including Disney’s Festival of the Masters, “Under the Oaks”, and the Florida Watercolor Society, of which she is a Signature Member, and also a Member with Excellence of the South Carolina Watercolor Society.

A fun, extremely productive workshop for beginners and advanced students as well, monoprinting will focus on methods and techniques for producing high quality artwork, even if you can’t draw! A monoprint is a single image created by transferring an image designed on a plexiglass plate to paper. Monoprinting allows the artist to create marvelous textures and surface effects that cannot be obtained by using a brush. The workshop will begin with a really entertaining demo followed by lots of time to experiment. Use monoprinting to create beautiful note cards, frame able prints, images for use in altered books, other projects and more .Even if you can’t draw a straight line, you can produce beautiful fine art prints, EVEN PORTRAITS!!! This workshop will also include projects in Nature Printing! A large body of work will be produced in a short period of time with high levels of success even for rank beginners.


Hugh Dunnahoe
September 27 to 30, 2010
Oil in Layers
Cost: $450.00
All Levels
www.gallery.me.com/dunnahoe

This workshop is for anyone willing to learn, regardless of experience. For artists who are new to oils, layering is a great way to learn the medium and achieve successful results. For painters who struggle with mixing colors instead of mud, or are still not sure what to do next, the layering approach can be liberating. For experienced painters looking to expand their vocabulary, the unique effects that can be achieved by using layers may be just the thing. The techniques that will be taught are easy to understand and will become useful tools in any artist's studio.


Jean Grastorf, AWS, NWS, TWSA
“Pouring Light” Watercolor
October 11 to 14, 2010
Cost:$450.00
www.jeangrastorf.com

“Pouring Light"- For those who love transparent watercolor and its washes of color and light, the workshop will offer a unique freedom. Masking to preserve the white paper and pouring veils of blending pigments often lead to unusual interpretations.

The relationship of the abstract design underlying the representational subject matter is stressed along with the importance of a strong value pattern. There are daily demonstrations covering the painting process from concept to completion. Attention is paid to simplifying and focusing on the important elements of the painting as we experiment with the alternative ways of putting pigment on paper.

Individual attention and critiques will be part of the curriculum as well as the enjoyment of watching the flow of glorious washes. Letting go and allowing the paint to "do its thing" is great fun! Creative chaos and control for those ready to try a new approach to a traditional technique.

Jean Grastorf, AWS, NWS, TWSA is a graduate of The Rochester Institute of Technology with further studies at the School of Ceramics at Alfred, NY. She is an elected member of numerous watercolor societies. She has served on the Board of Directors of the American Watercolor Society as well as the Jury of Submissions and Jury of Awards. Her work appears in watercolor books and magazines and she is the author of "Pouring Light, Layering Transparent Watercolor" which was released in November 2005


Marlene Gremillion
October 25 to 27, 2010
“Painting Portraits From Photo”
Watercolor/ all levels
Cost: $275.00

Students will learn such things as: choosing a photo to paint a portrait from, mixing colors for portraits, study composition, focal point, and contrast . This is not a drawing class. Students will work from enlarged photos or project the photo to paint from.

My main objective is for students to come out with a better understanding of the medium of watercolor in portrait use. Painting wonderful paintings is not my major goal. I want them to go home and utilize the knowledge learned to keep painting on their own.
