Getting Fresh at your easel and your desk...by KIMBERLY kelly SANTINI
Wednesday September 11 through Friday September 13, 2013
10:00AM - 5:00PM with one hour lunch break
$250.00 (plus supplies).
Creator of the acclaimed "Painting a Dog A Day"
daily painting project, Santini has put miles under her
brush, signing over 1300 daily paintings since
2007. Her paintings earn honors wherever exhibited and are eagerly collected among a client base
prizing spontaneous color and bright personalities.
This workshop will introduce some color theory,
focus on the benefits of working a limited palette
to create extraordinary color, discuss the hazards
of working from photo references, and the artist
will share techniques to help students loosen up.
The ideal student will be comfortable with their
tools, have a basic understanding of values, and
a competant grasp of drawing.
Kimberly will also devote time to address the
business side of being an artist, discussing such
things as the value of daily creativity, marketing,
building an internet presence, using social media
to enhance sales, and other tools self-representing artists can use to build their
studios.

WORKSHOP WITH ELIZABETH ST. HILAIRE NELSON

The proposed class is an intense workshop in which students are taught a unique figurative collage technique. Students will explore hand painting their own collage papers with a variety of techniques and collage application. Emphasis will be on developing form using light and shadow, just like in traditional painting techniques. No prior collage experience is necessary. Some painting would be helpful but not imperative.
