DESCRIPTION:NOTE: As of 1/26/23\, this series was rescheduled to start Friday\, February 3rd.\nAs of 1/17/23\, this series start date has been postponed to Friday\, January 27th.\nSOLD OUT. \nStarts Friday\, February 3rd (Fridays from 9AM-Noon for six weeks.) \nNOTE: Masks are optional for this series. \nFoundational Drawing is designed for improving drawing skills for any level of artist. Over this six-week series of classes we will discuss the tent pole principles of more successful (and repeatable) drawing\, as well as techniques you might not have previously tried and materials that could open your eyes to new forms of expression. Whether your goal is to draw finished artwork\, to improve your drawing in order to become a better painter\, or simply to draw with more confidence\, Foundational Drawing will showcase one of art’s fundamental skills and help you achieve a visual fluency with this unique form of communication. All skill levels welcome. \nNon-members: $250 for 6 weeks. Members: $200. \nFee does not include materials. \nWhat to bring for the first class: Mixed-Media sketchbook approximately 11×14\, no smaller than 8.5×11 (Most brands are acceptable but prefer it not to be Borden and Riley). Also\, a couple of drawing pencils of different softness within the range of H to 4B\, and a double ended brush pen such as the Tombow Dual Brush Pen in dark grey or black. The instructor will let you know if additional materials need to be purchased as the series progresses. \n \n  \n  \n\nAbout the instructor: A lifelong passion for drawing led artist Christopher Magnuson to painting in watercolor\, a medium that allows the drawing underneath to directly inform the finished product. His command of line work and energetic\, expressive drawing style elevate the drawing to an equal partnership with the paint\, in landscapes that depict the familiar\, recognizable and sometimes unconventional beauty of Maine. \n  \nClick here to view our cancellation policy.

SUMMARY:Building Blocks of Watercolor Landscape Painting 6-week Artist Series
DESCRIPTION:Starts Tuesday\, January 24th (Tuesdays from 9:00 a.m. to Noon for six weeks.) \nNOTE: Masks are required in this series. \nThis class will address painting a watercolor landscape from a personal photograph. All levels of watercolor painters are welcome. Students will work on picking an appropriate photograph\, analyzing and refining the composition\, creating both value and color studies. As we go through all the steps to creating a successful watercolor painting\, students will be practicing the technical aspects of watercolor painting.

By the end of the course students will have learned all the steps to create a successful painting and completed the landscape painting of their choice. \nNon-members: $250 for 6 weeks. Members: $200. \nMaterials not included. A supply list can be found below the instructor bio. \n \n  \n  \n\nAbout the instructor: Deena S. Ball is a nationally renowned landscape painter known for her innovative use of watercolor in combination with a textured ground and specialized surfaces. She received her BA in Art history and Studio Art from Colby College in Waterville\, Maine\, and continued her studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Art and Tyler School of Art.

Unfortunately\, brush sizes are not uniform throughout the industry. \nYour large one should be no smaller than the #16 Aqua Edge by Princeton and it most definitely can be bigger. \nI like the #20 Jacksons : Artica White Tornay Synthetic brush – https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/jackson-s-artica-white-toray-synthetic-brushes-series-1302 \nRecommended Manufacturers – Robert Simons Saphire\, Winsor Newton\, Princeton\, Isabey – Jacksons\, Rosemary’s Brushes ( UK) \nSynthetic is least expensive and hold the least amount of water\, mixed synthetic and natural hair is mid range on price and amount of water it will hold and natural hair is the most expensive but holds the most water. \nIncidentals \nWhite artist tape 3/4 inch – Pro Art is good. \nFolding plastic palette – my favorite is the Mijello Bullet proof 36 Colors palette – close behind is the Mijello airtight Watercolor Palette 18 wells. Both are available on Amazon and other places. \nGatorboard – ultra heavy foam core board to use as a support if you buy single sheets of paper which is more economical rather than a block \nGood quality paper towels – Bounty or shop towels or a flour sack dish cloth \nSketching pencil – I use either a Design Ebiony Pencil or a Caran D’ache Mechanical Pencil \nWhite plastic eraser – Faber Castel or Staedler Mars Plastic \nWater container – I use an old plant container with no whole or for on the go – Faber Castel Clic and Go- but a large old Ball jar will work as well. Bigger the better.
