Cost: $425 Members, $530 Non-Members, plus $10 model and flower fee, which will be collected first day of workshop
Please register by 04/04/2022!
Fresh flowers in the studio will be the inspiration for the beginning of this dynamic workshop – progressing to the head and figure. Through a series of fun painting exercises, students will develop a more loose and natural approach – giving them an opportunity to be more spontaneous and expressive in their paintings. In our approach to learning how to interpret the head and figure, we will learn to express translucent flesh tones, while focusing on the gesture of the person. Painting children will also be covered. Although we will work primarily from photos, we may have an opportunity to work from a model for a short period, so bring your
camera! Besides class demonstrations throughout the workshop, Janet will work individually with each person also, making sure they understand the painting concepts – a truly “hands on” experience. Focusing on discovering how to control and making dynamic color, design and expression, we will also have “Show and Tell” – an opportunity to share and see how we exceed in our expectations!!!

In-Person: Another Look at Watercolor – Filling Shapes with Radiant Light with Ray Ewing
Cost: $220 Members, $275 Non-Members
Please register by 5/22/2022.
Looking at watercolor as a “painting material” and not just as a “watery color”, we will learn to control the paint and not let the paint control itself. Emphasis will be on composition and value. We will use a rich application of color, going from a thin “tea” mixture to a more saturated application. Color mixing and application will be a large part of the workshop. Students will work from photographs or a still life arrangement.

In-Person: Plein Air Evening Light with Jim Rehak June 20-22, 2022
$200 for members, $250 for non members
Please register by 06/19/2022!
Paint the light at Northside Park !!
Emphasis will be placed on simplifying the elements of the bayside landscape and sharpening your plein air painting skills. Capturing the late light can add excitement and interest to any painting. Demonstrations and individual attention will be offered.
The first day we will meet at the Art League on 94th street first at 2pm, later our class will meet on location at Northside Park….the north bayside corner at the bench behind the baseball field. If bad weather (precipitation) occurs the class will meet at the OC Center for the Arts 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. We will let you know the evening before.
In that case you should bring landscape photos (of your own) to paint from for that day.
