Oil Painting Jump Start with Michael Wise & Katherine Taylor

February 18-19, 9am-4pm If you have the desire to master painting in oils but have doubts because you fear the process is too complicated, then join us for a two–day workshop designed to provide you with the fundamental skills to paint with confidence and creativity. Local fine art instructors Katherine Taylor and Michael Wise will demystify the process of painting with oils and demonstrate a simple step-by-step process to create dynamic and powerful oil paintings. $160 (Sagebrushers Art Society members), $185 (nonmembers fee). Supplies available for an extra fee. For registration or more information, contact Barb Crislip at barbjc45@yahoo.com.

Discovering Your Voice in Skies & Water with Amanda Houston March 18-20, 10am-5pm This three-day workshop will go beyond the “how-to” steps of creating radiant sky paintings from photographs. It will explore the intuitive creative process while still covering the foundation of good design and composition. We will focus on a series of small-scale color sketches and finish with one larger piece. While Amanda will share how she approaches skies, this workshop is for you to explore your own mark-making and undergo a deeper self-discovery to define your own unique painting style. Learn what habits hold you back so your true voice can come out. Amanda will demonstrate in pastel but any medium is welcome. Cost is $425. Contact Nancy Misek at nancym2010@tds.net for more information and registration.
