Free Event!

Join Maryland licensed clinical counselor, Marilyn B. Spenadel, for this 2 hour Holistic Self-Care Workshop as she teaches attendees to gain insight into finding mind/body connections to stress, wellness, and spiritual strength. While we can’t change difficult situations of the past, we can work on shifting our perception to be more hopeful and appreciative of our moments. As you practice healing mindfulness and compassionate techniques, you can tap into feeling more present and empowered. After a mindful universal light inspired meditation, you will create your Mandala (healing circle) to connect to the uplifting resource and energy.
These mandala art pieces will be collected to create the traveling “Wall of Compassion,”© community healing interactive art display.

Lesson : September 27th Drawing a Lilly Pond

Then we will further develop a realistic artwork by exploring and applying shading in a variety of ways. This class will be step by step teacher lead instruction. Although this class will utilize pencil as the medium, the content knowledge of the class is directly applicable to all painting and drawing media. This class can be accomplished with literally one pencil, eraser, and paper. However, the ideal essential materials are a variety of Pencils, HB-6B, erasers, and sketch pad (approximately 11” x 14).

This 3-day workshop will cover the three main components of a painting. Composition, Value, and Color. Students may use whatever medium they feel comfortable in (watercolor, pastel, oil, acrylic, or colored pencil). Each morning we will discuss the new topic and Ray will teach you tools how to accomplish our goals. We will take a brief lunch break, then paint in the afternoon together applying what we have learned.
Each day we will be working from different images. Students may bring their own, but Ray will have an image for each day he will use for his demos, and you are welcome to use as well.
– We will first day take a close look at our images and make the composition work for a better painting.
Students then will make a value sketch, from which they will paint in the afternoon.
– On day two the emphasis will be on developing the focal area. We will make a value sketch and paint in the afternoon.
– Day three color will be the topic. Color mixing and placement in the Composition.
Students will have time to work in the afternoons with individual help and guidance. And we will have a brief critique at the end of the three days.

There will be a wide variety of watercolor techniques that will be discussed and demonstrated including positive and negative painting, composition, using creative colors, glazing, charging color, and many more. We will begin each day with a demonstration painting that will be finished before lunch. The daily demonstration will be different each day so that you will see a wide variety of subject matter and styles including landscapes, floral, stylized, and abstract. My preferred method of painting is to use large brushes for most of the painting and complete the painting with a small amount of details towards the end using smaller brushes. The end result is a watercolor painting that is loose and fresh with expressive brushwork. Following lunch each student will have the afternoon to work on their own painting with assistance when needed. There are no requirements as to what subject the student paints or what size they prefer to paint.
