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 markmaking 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.

Painting Faces From Photographs with Ted Nuttall

June 13-17, 9am-4pm

Join award-winning artist Ted Nuttall for this five-day workshop. Although painting a person in watercolor may seem daunting, it is every bit as approachable as creating a still life or landscape. Ted will demonstrate the techniques and instill the confidence to enjoy painting people.
