Creative Combination Watercolor & Acrylic
Workshop with Dan Wiemer  I-A

Friday, Saturday, Sunday
March 10, 11, 12, 10:00-4:00

Good painters are first good designers. Learn concepts that allow you to find strong abstract shapes in your scenes. We will learn about the different types of contrasts and how they add drama to your painting. The workshop will focus on painting like a printmaker – finding and constructing negative shapes to create mosaic-like paintings using watercolor and acrylic paints. Your learning experience will include demos, guided painting, self-exploration, and a bunch of fun.

Color Sense Workshop with Linda Richichi B-I

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Feb 27, 28, Mar 1, 10:00-4:00

Finally, tactical training that will help you stop fearing color and start embracing it instead
— so you can create art with confidence, freedom, and fun! Learn the fundamentals of color in a way you’ve never been taught before…and become an artist who not only knows, but TRUSTS that they can create, mix, (and fix!) any colors they wish. Of all the technical aspects you’ve been exploring, such as line, tone, shape, and space, the biggest stumbling block has been color. But when you actually begin to work with color and try to create the colors you need…You can’t ever seem to get it right. The gorgeous, lush colors you see in your mind look off after mixing your own. The shades and tones you’re hoping for seem complicated and illusive to match. And the worst is, when for all of your mixing, the best you keep getting is MUD! It’s not your fault that mixing colors is tough (and it’s no sign of your artistic ability)!

The truth is you haven’t been taught enough about color to realize that you CAN be in control of it — and exactly how to do it. When you really learn the fundamentals of color and have a firm grasp on how it works, you’ll be able to create, control, and paint color in an entirely new way – and watch your paintings come to life as you’ve always hoped they would. So if you’re ready to learn about color in a way you’ve never learned before, Linda Richichi can’t wait to teach you how.
