SUMMARY:PAINTERLY ENCAUSTIC: LANDSCAPES with Bridget Benton
DESCRIPTION:Explore encaustic as a pure painting medium while creating a beautifully textured landscape! If you’ve been struggling to use color and encaustic paint in your mixed-media encaustic work or want an introduction to encaustic that’s painterly rather than collage-based\, this may be the workshop for you.  \nWhile we will be working from photos\, students will be encouraged to simplify and slightly abstract their landscapes rather than trying to create photo-realistic copies. Encaustic is an expressive media with a mind of its own! We’ll be working WITH the medium rather than against it and playing to its strengths: rich color\, luminous depth\, and incredible texture.  \nIn this beginner-friendly workshop\, you’ll learn:  \n– Encaustic Safety \n–  Easy ways to start your painting that set you up for success  \n–  How to build up & fuse your layers for maximum visual depth  \n– How to achieve both smooth & textured surfaces \n– Tips & Tricks for using your brushes & controlling your paint \n– Working with the transparency and opacity of your paint \n– How to bring in detail and crisp lines!

SUMMARY:STARTING WITH A SKETCH - FIND DIRECTION IN YOUR PAINTINGS with Susan Sinyai
DESCRIPTION:Starting with a beginning sketch is VITAL to making sure your painting will be a success\, but so many artists seem to forget this! \nBefore your brush touches a canvas\, Susan Sinyai is here to help you get the best out of this vital first step.  This workshop will help  you to see where you are going with your painting by… \n– Understanding the values \n– Making sense of light and dark areas \n– Creating a cohesive composition before you begin.   \nStudents will work on line drawings that incorporate the Japanese concept of notans (creating harmony between black and white)\, as well as preparing a more developed sketch with a variety of shading by using the Grisaille method – a secret weapon for creating a vibrant\, eye-catching painting!  \nBring your own photos or use the references provided.  Paper and drawing supplies will be provided!

SUMMARY:FREE TO CREATE: AN INTRODUCTION TO INTUITIVE PAINTING with Pamela Cisneros
DESCRIPTION:What would it feel like to create with no rules\, no critique\, and no pressure to make something “good”? \nIn this beginner-friendly half-day class\, you’ll explore intuitive process painting as a way to reconnect with your natural creativity\, quiet the inner critic\, and experience the simple joy of creating freely.  This is not a class about technique\, realistic representation\, or producing a finished piece for approval!  Instead\, you’ll be invited to follow color\, movement\, curiosity\, and inspiration as they arise. \nDuring this class\, you’ll have the chance to play with tempera paint in a relaxed and encouraging space. You can begin without needing a plan or artistic experience\, where students will follow simple prompts and enjoy the process without critique\, comparison\, or pressure. \nThis class is for anyone who can’t draw a stick figure\, feels terrified of a blank white page\, hasn’t picked up a paintbrush in years\, or even established and successful artists! Whether you feel creatively blocked\, curious\, rusty\, or simply ready to experience the pleasure of making marks without rules…this is the class for you!
