| A PEEK AT OUR
2008
WORKSHOPS! PAINTING ON LOCATION & IN THE STUDIO --- June 13, 14 & 15, 2008 Learn to improve your
painting skills on location. Local harbors, estuaries, and
gardens provide reference material, rain or shine. (We can retreat into
our conference room at Dumas Bay if the weather takes a turn for the
worst.) Michele will
give spontaneous
demonstrations covering the summer landscape: water and reflections,
figures in the landscape and working with color and light. In these
sessions, she discuss the art of simplifying, techniques of
wet-on-wet and wet-into-wet, dry brush effects and how to maximize
enjoyment of the outdoor painting experience.
While working on each of these topics, she emphasizes composition, value, and color, the things that make a painting communicate. Creativity and individuality are encouraged throughout. While watercolor will be
the medium used for instruction, students may use acrylic, if preferred.
Bring a good sense of
humor and prepare to have fun.
Friday, Saturday & Sunday 9:00-4:00 Dumas Bay Conference Center, Federal Way, WA PAINTING ON LOCATION --- July 19, 2008 Our 6th Annual Paint Out at Lavender Hills Farm!
