GET OUT of the BOX
– Painting Knife with Daryl Urig

Ever felt like your work was getting drab and lifeless? Need to get out of the drudgery or painting funk you are in? This workshop will definitely get you OUT OF THE BOX.

Painting with a palette knife offers a unique way to add in both varying textures and colorful layers of paint rich in pigment and color while still expressing a rare energy. Providing the artist with a rare freedom to creates dramatic works of art in a way that few other painting techniques can hope to match.

A Few Benefits:

   •  Adding physical dimension and impasto texture – or sculpted paint
   •  Keeps you working on big picture verses niggling needless details
   •  Painting knives do not wear out like brushes and easy clean up
   •  Help to mix and lay more accurate vivid colors
   •  Facilitate a better use of color and shape
   •  Dramatizes soft and crisp hard edges

Oil and Acrylic Paints are preferred; demonstrations will be in oil paint. All Levels Welcome and Encouraged.

If you want to simplify your approach and add form and substance to painting this workshop is for you!

WATERCOLOR WORKSHOP by SUE ARCHER NWS AWS TWSA

''My goal as an instructor is to present you with as much design and color theory information as time allows and encourage you to take advantage of the inherent wet into wet qualities of watercolor. I believe in the power of planning and understanding the basics. The objective is not to change you, but to add to your core of knowledge. Then it is up to you to take this knowledge and apply it to the style and subject matter that suits you.''

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

WATERCOLOR: COMMANDING COLOR and DESIGN

     level: adv. beginners thru advanced
              (basic watercolor an drawing skills are necessary)

A course designed to inspire your creativity by using color theory, design concepts, and wet into wet techniques; to experience and understand the power of planning; to inspire adv. beginners and provide a review and challenge for the advanced.

In this workshop you will experience how I create and design my imagery and achieve a strong quality of light. You will be introduced to many topics and concepts and your goal should be to decide how these ideas could apply to your painting, your subject matter, your intent and style.

Finished paintings are not our objective; the planning and designing of your paintings is. Your days will be filled with daily demonstrations, lectures, color or design projects, and on-going critiques; a personal, one on one consultation time will be available.

Topics discussed:

pigment qualities, saving whites, showing light, achieving colorful darks, taking and using photographs as reference, digital imagery ''What do I do with my background?''
 

Concepts covered:

importance of value and good shapes, color theory, viewpoint, linkage (merger, bridge, loosening-up - tying shapes together), cropping, designing with white, unity, intent, design concepts

(number of the topics and concepts covered depends on level of students and time restraints)

For advanced painters: to assist me in discussing your work, you should bring the reference material you work from (slides, photos or digital files of your work) and/or works in progress.

I want every student to bring lots of your own personal resource material for any subject that interests you and in any form you desire!!!! We will be discussing light, so make sure your reference has direct light on your subject. This will enable you to have available the imagery and subject matter you like for solving the daily projects.

Pouring Trees

''Making A Masterpiece'' is an advanced pouring workshop but is good for everybody, because I provide a drawing ahead of time so that I am teaching the techniques of masking and pouring, and time is not taken up by sketching an unfamiliar subject. Students are welcome to bring drawings of their own subjects t adapt to these techniques.

Kathy Miller Stone has been a professional fine artist for 40 years, with 20 years in watercolor. Painting in transparent watercolor, Kathy paints realistically, but not photographically, stressing well designed composition using strong values, and the use of many unusual colors to brighten shadows. Kathy's pouring techniques were featured in the Spring 2002 Issue of Watercolor Magazine. A member of 13 watercolor societies, Kathy is a signature member seven plus a member of the National League of American Pen Women in Arts. She is also included in Best of Watercolor: Painting Light And Shadow, Rockport Publishers, The World's Who's Who of Women, 2000, and The International Who's Who of Professional and Business Women, 2000 and 2001.

Kathy Miller Stone has been the recipient of several honors and awards throughout her career and attributes her success to believing in herself and loving what she does. Mrs. Stone has appeared in several books including;
Artistic Touch 4, Chris Enwin (has 2 paintings in that book); Confident Color Splash 8 - The best in watercolor discoveries by Rachel Wolf; and Best of Watercolor Painting Light and Shadow, Sara Dohoroty. She has also participated in the Festival of Fins in New Orleans, LA and was sponsored by Shell Corp. to paint one of the New Orleans Street Cars.

Mrs. Stone believes she should ''Always paint what you love because you might have to live with it a long time''.

RICHARD STEPHENS
'WATERCOLOR WITH PASSION'

Richard Stephens Watercolor Workshop Overview

When you take a Richard Stephens workshop you will be exposed to three main things.
Informative technical information sprinkled with humor and antidotes, entertaining and educational painting demonstrations and lots of one on one time with Richard as he helps you through your individual painting process. Richard has a true passion for watercolor and enjoys the opportunity to share his knowledge and experience with students of all levels.

A day starts with a short presentation on the ''topic of the day'' determined by the level and interest of the class. It is not so much a lecture as it is a conversation. Richard encourages feedback and questions as he feels we learn form each other and everyone has something important to share.

Richard will do at least one complete painting demonstration a day. He constantly explains what he is doing, and more importantly, why. Most demonstrations last about an hour and the students learn techniques, creative use of the ''tools'' of watercolor such as brush choice and manipulation, color mixing and water/pigment relationship. There is always strong emphasis on the elements and principals of design.

After the demonstration the class will start on their own paintings. Richard offers individual advice as per subject selection, designing the image on the page and technique based on the unique style and goal of each student.

In summary, a Richard Stephens workshop is informative, challenging and fun. It is not about competition or turning out a great painting during the workshop. It is about being exposed to a process of watercolor painting that has been successful for him and perhaps some of that process finding a voice with the students and their work.
