paint. We’ll take our lunch and spend the afternoon on the trails
on Mt. Peg. Sunday, we’ll convene at the trailhead to the National

You will learn the properties of basic transparent watercolors along
with the joy of building up a painting in delicate layers of color.
Learn the difference between mixed colors and how layers work. Working
from photo reference, we will see how value plays an integral part in
building up the form and how knowledge of paints and their properties
can help you make wise color choices. Drying time will be spent in drawing
exercises, tea breaks and art historical discussion. A perfect workshop
to jump start your painting.
• Making Your Own Holiday Card
9 AM to 4 PM Saturday & Sunday, December 5-6, 2009
$175.00 per person, limited to six participants
All you need to bring to this workshop is an idea and some reference
for the image you want to have on your holiday card. You will leave
with a CD that is “press-ready” for you take it to a local
printer or get information for high-quality, cost-effective printers
online. The first day, you will paint your image and work out your design.
Sunday, you will scan the work and learn the basics of print production.
You’ll learn how to paint for reproduction, scan your own image
and develop the actual design of the card. Learn about the optimal sizes
for cost-effective reproduction, quantities and how to make other cards
from
your own artwork. A familiarity with a computer is all you need and
no prior graphic design knowledge is needed.
To sign up for any of these workshops, contact the studio by email at
