|
Saturday, February 28, 10:00am-2PM
$40.00 PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS AN IN PERSON CLASS offered through North Bend Art and Industries Location: NBA&I Center for Creativity 1533 Bendigo Blvd North, North Bend, WA Please register here: What You'll Learn: In this class you will try out styles you have seen in the course of your visual perusing and find new ways to express yourself in your sketchbook. Using two images of elk, one a portrait, the other, full body, you will draw, sketch and paint it four times. In each case, you will find a new approach to this same subject with a different medium, tools and even various substrates. Sometimes stretching is a little scary and certainly challenging but together we can push to reach for new creative heights. Exercises for our creative muscles can not only stretch and challenge us, but lead to brand new discoveries about materials, tools and supplies that broaden our expression in our nature sketchbooks. This class will provide you with instructions that are guaranteed to unleash your own creativity and imagination, finding new ways to express yourself using a variety of materials. Skill Level/Age Range: Beginner to Intermediate/ 13+ Student Instructions: Students are welcome to bring their own sketchbook to use in class if they prefer. Also, students will be provided links to four easy-to-follow demonstration and instructional videos (just over one hour) that review the course content. Materials Needed: All materials will be supplied by the instructor. |
Painting a Vintage-Look Butterfly Chart with Gouache
|
Wednesday, March 18 & 25, 1:00 - 3:30 PM
$60 PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS AN IN PERSON CLASS offered through North Bend Art and Industries Location: NBA&I Center for Creativity 1533 Bendigo Blvd North, North Bend, WA Please register here What You'll Learn: If you love vintage charts of butterfly species, this class is for you. We will create a vintage-look chart from images of butterflies that appeal to you by arranging them in a pleasing composition then carefully sketching them in the first session. The second session will be focused on rendering the butterflies in gouache. The two session class is designed to have time between sessions to allow for work on the chart between classes. The process of creating a chart such as this is a slow, contemplative, observational method of recording the spectacular world of nature and capturing the essence of the subject in a deep meaningful way. Skill Level/Age Range: Beginner to Intermediate/ 18+ Student Instructions: This class will include links to six easy-to-follow instructional videos demonstrating different techniques taught during the class. Using these videos, students can review the class in between sessions or after the class is over. Also, participants may want to purchase their own supplies to practice with in between sessions (see supplemental list below). Note: This project will not be completed in two sessions, but you will have learned enough to take it from where we leave off to finish on your own. Materials Needed: All materials will be supplied by the instructor during class. Supplemental Materials List (for those who want to practice between sessions):
