CHECK BACK IN THE FALL TO SEE WHEN THESE WILL BE RESCHEDULED
“Textures of the Southwest"
Virginia BrooksAll supplies provided.
If you have ever wanted to try oils, but did not want to make the investment in the materials...then this is your perfect opportunity! Everything is included, from the canvas to the paint and brushes. Learn to paint the textures of adobe, tile, weathered wood, and various types of Southwestern foliage in this one-day oil painting workshop. We will all paint the same subject at the same time, a weathered southwestern garden gate. Every step will be explained to you.
Beginners are welcome, and the advanced artists will learn specific tips for a successful oil painting. This will include individual help in a small group setting.
Using the successful "Come Paint with Me" method used at Virginia's studio in Carefree, we will all be painting the same image. She will supply the photo of the subject, a Santa Fe style gate that will afford us the opportunity to paint an old adobe wall, a gate of weathered wood and a rustic courtyard. Foliage will include hollyhocks, and trees far in the background that will indicate depth. The image may be personalized with your own house number. Even if you are a beginner, this step-by-step process will work for you.
We will talk about composition decisions and do a full color sketch in the morning, from approximately 10 to noon. We will break for lunch for an hour, while our sketches dry. If it is a cloudy day you might want to bring a hair dryer to speed the drying. From 1 to 3pm we will finish the painting. And "yes", we will finish it in this short time! Our full color morning sketch makes this a reality!

“Digital Photography"
Joel Wolfson’s “Digital Photo Basics”
Do you love to take photos but don't quite understand your digital camera? Is your camera always set to auto? What is a pixel anyway? This workshop is for you!
This is an introduction to digital photography. You'll walk away understanding how to take your camera off full automatic and use the controls on your camera to your creative advantage. We start with the asics and then alternate shooting in the field with classroom work to reinforce the techniques you learn.
We evaluate the photos you shot and learn the creative ways to capture the kind of images you really want. Joel emphasizes individualized instruction with a hands-on learn-by-doing approach. All you need to bring is your camera, memory card, fully charged battery and a readiness to have fun and learn.
