Susan Webb Tregay, NWS, TWSA* Multi-media and/or Water-media: 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! ***Please read Supply List for the class & the parking instructions below these next Art Instructors names... *NWS- National Watercolor Society **TWSA- Transparent Watercolor Society of America These are two of the most prestigious designations for a watercolorist. Artists must be juried in all based on the quality and expertise of their work. |

| Classes will meet weekly for 5 weeks in October Afternoon classes begin Thurs Oct. 2 from 1-4 pm Evening classes beginning Wed Oct.1 from 6-9 pm $100 per student This course will emphasize color and design, with subject matter used to create exciting paintings. We will learn how to look for shapes, not things, and learn how to simplify complex shapes. Collage will be introduced in some of our classes. We will print into wet paint with textured surfaces and use negative painting to bring out the shapes of trees, rocks and foliage. We will study different color palettes and design formats. Students are encouraged to practice at home between sessions, and receive a critique on their homework the following week. The goal of this course is to get students on the road toward loosening up their paintings, and using the photograph to create something new, instead of just trying to replicate a photograph. ***CLICK ON PAT's NAME to email her your reservation or questions. |
