  Join encaustic artist, Carolyn Berry, in this fun and experimental workshop where the sky is the limit! Encaustic wax is a versatile medium made from beeswax, damar resin and powdered pigments that can be used for traditional painting techniques as well as a way to add texture, layer and join mixed media materials together.  We will explore experimental techniques of painting, drawing, collage, stenciling, photo transfer, wax fusing and surface manipulation. Be inspired to create artwork with a unique surface using melted wax and pigments. Using magazine images, photo images and found collage materials students will achieve successful and personal imagery in this creative medium. No previous art experience is necessary only an adventurous spirit.

  Don’t miss this great opportunity to work with landscape painter, Phil Starke in the 4-day plein aire/studio workshop. Through daily demonstrations and individual instruction, Phil will focus on simplifying the main aspects of painting a landscape. We want to be able to “see” as an artist, not as a camera. Students will learn how to simplify the subject to large masses and values which eliminates the need for too much detail. Using the color wheel, students will learn how to easily mix color that suggests light without trying to copy what we see. The workshop will start in the studio for an introduction and then move outside for 2 days, where we will work on color studies and thumbnail drawings. During the last 2 days, we will turn our attention to studio painting, learning how to turn the outdoor studies into finished paintings, focusing on composition and painting techniques. Phil will do 2 demonstrations a day and work devote plenty of time with each student. Phil’s demonstrations will be in oils but artists working in acrylics and pastel are welcome; the thought process and procedure are the same. Please sign up early; class size is limited to 12 students.

   Join Coulter Prehm for this four-day intensive workshop focused on creating a portrait from life. Each day will begin with a demonstration in which Colt will introduce methods that will guide students to achieve a likeness of the model. Artists will enjoy in depth teaching covering topics that include understanding the interaction of light and form and exploring a variety of ways to handle drawing mediums and toned surfaces. Working with students individually throughout the workshop, Colt will encourage work that is both intentional and expressive at the same time experimenting with bold and energetic handling of the surrounding areas beyond the face. This will be an exciting, informative workshop experience!
