Workshop Description: The Magic of Watercolor
Beginner and Intermediate Levels. The excitement of learning
how to bring this media to poetic levels of color transparency and
the suggestive nature of watercolor media becomes the major focus
for this workshop. Watercolor techniques of wash, dry brush, wet
on wet painting, glazing, and lifting are demonstrated and explored
toward a working knowledge of the magical effects that can be gained
through practice. Workshop participants also learn basic principles
of color mixing, and composing with the use of the white paper. Illustrations
of the work of master artists provide inspiration and examples of
various watercolor painting styles, which can later be studied. The
development of each individual's creative process and self-expression
remains the overall goal.

Workshop Description: Introduction to Printmaking
(Drawing Experience Not Required)
Enjoy the rich effects from the simplest and least technical of printmaking techniques, using foam plates and water-based printmaking inks. Explore the beauty of layering color, unique texture effects, and the endless variations that can be achieved from a single, simple plate design. Learn how to use common “tools” to incise the plate, create texture, and how to apply color for harmony or an expressive palette. These techniques can be effectively used to create art forms from landscape/still life prints to designs for greeting cards. After this workshop, you will be able to continue printmaking on your own as this process does not use a printing press.

Workshop Setting: Newfound Art Studio, Bristol
$60
Workshop Description: Drawing Out Your Inner Artist
Beginning / Intermediate
Drawing
Everyone can learn to draw well with the right practice
techniques. The secret is learning a new way of “seeing,” and how
to coordinate the hand with the eye. Workshop participants are introduced
to the technique of drawing descriptive contour lines, and the use
of various drawing media through demonstration and practice. The
major art concepts of positive versus negative shapes, descriptive
value, light, shadow, and space are also introduced and explored.
Participants become aware of some of the ways that art elements can
be used to affect compositional harmony and expressiveness. Both
beginning students and those with some experience will be individually
assisted to reach higher levels of drawing practice, competence and
enjoyment.
Workshop fee does not include most supplies. Basic Supply List will
be sent upon request registration.
