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.

Pouring

''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.

RICHARD
STEPHENS
'WATERCOLOR WITH PASSION'
OCTOBER 22-25, 2012, 4 DAY WORKSHOP
COST $425.00
Hot Springs Artist Workshop/Gallery
408 Ohio Drive
Hot Springs. AR 71913

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.

commercial artist/graphic designer in the advertising/marketing
