Botanical Illustration in Watercolor
Instructor: Mary Sundstrom If you're fascinated by the natural world and are interested in capturing wild beauty with paint, Mary Sundstrom is here to guide you. This 4-week course will kick off with an intro day, where we cover basic watercolor techniques such as color mixing and blending approaches. Using both specimens to draw from life and photo references, students will work on a different study every class, practicing demonstrated techniques to capture a variety of textures. We will look into the masters to guide us in planning composition and developing a painting strategy. All supplies provided.

The Importance of Light
Instructor: Larry Blovits In this workshop, Larry will explain the three unique light sources and their characteristics, along with equally important insights used to create and control the profound light statements in your paintings. You will be directed to experience each one of the characteristics during and in between class meetings to learn and master the use of light. Discussion, examples, and instructional handouts will help clarify what is taught in class. As a result of this important workshop, your artwork will improve to the next level toward the full mastery of light. Students bring the supplies and medium they plan to work with. Students are requested to contact the instructor prior to the class by email at larryjblovits@gmail.com with a statement of what they want to learn and an example of any artwork (if any).

Linocut Relief Printmaking
Instructor: Lee Ann Frame Come explore the graphic process of relief printmaking using linoleum. A relief print is inking the raised surface of the linoleum after areas have been carved away. We will cover the steps of how to transfer a drawing or photograph to the block, carving and inking the block, simple registration, printing to paper and using a press. We can explore the addition of color. Participants will be able to take what they learn and print at home. From novice to experienced, printmaking holds an age old process that continues to engage the imagination and always holds the element of surprise.
