COLOR and VALUE STRATEGIES-                  
with Susan Webb Tregay NWS
Author of the book and DVD   
"MASTER DISASTER"    
from North Light Book Club has made her a very popular workshop artist throughout the country.

January 17 and 24, 10-4

Color strategies can help develop content in your art. Though slides and discussions we will analyze eight color strategies as a direct and simple way to evoke content and moods. Students
will start a "flip book" of eight simple color sketches or sample paintings found in art magazines.

Value strategies are the design backbone of a strong painting. Because of their success, some have been used and reused throughout art history .While there seem to be a limited number of
color strategies, wonderful, new value/design strategies keep catching to my attention. This course will supply artists with two dozen strategies. We will add these to your "flip book" and begin
finding examples of each strategy. Students have called these flip
books their art bibles.

We will also be making Stone Soup for lunch! Everyone is asked to bring a serving of something (a can of something, a potato or two cut up or such)
to throw in our soup pot. Let's do lunch!

Oil Painting in the style of The Old Masters
with Sharon Carlyle
Classes in Evening- Afternoons possible

Sharon’s style is open and enthusiastic as she instructs an academic yet simplified Method of achieving realism in Oil
Painting.. Sharon will help students with COLOR and COMPOSITION and use STILL LIFE SET UPS or Student Photos.
Students will learn the proper way to “construct” an oil painting with a concentration on the art of good craftsmanship.  

By separating the various stages of a painting it allows each technique to be concentrated on individually.  As each layer
of the painting is mastered, drawing, under painting and modeling, and finally color-   the student will be able to achieve
the depth, transparency, and luminosity in their paintings that is so apparent in the Old Master’s Style.

Rebecca Crowell
www.rebeccacrowell.com

Build up abstract oil paintings in layers through the
use of cold wax medium, tube paint, paint sticks
and powdered pigments.

Rebecca will teach you new ways to create texture,

Brushes will play only a minor role! In this approach to painting,
the outcome is dependent on the painting process itself.

Presentations and resources about abstraction
will deepen your appreciation of its content and meaning.
