SUMMARY:Painting a Marine Still Life with Watercolor
DESCRIPTION:Designed for intermediate and advanced watercolor artists\, this studio workshop focuses on strengthening composition\, subject editing\, color balance\, and value control while you create a realistic\, marine-themed still-life painting. \n“Paint what you know” is a helpful reminder\, so we’ll begin by working directly from observation. Before you put brush to paper\, you’ll handle buoys and rope and study the surfaces of weathered wood to better understand their forms and textures. A life-size still life with cast shadows will be set up in the studio for close viewing and sketching. \nWorking with a limited palette\, you’ll explore materials and techniques for building believable texture and shadow\, along with strategies for overlapping shapes and creating depth so your finished painting reads as three-dimensional. \nTuition:  $75(member)/$100(non-member) \nhttp://www.pineshoresartassociation.org \neducation@pineshoresartassociation.org \n6095973557 \n

SUMMARY:Drawing Facial Features
DESCRIPTION:This class is designed to help those who are having difficulty drawing facial features. \nThe anatomy and rendering of the eyes\, nose\, mouth\, and ears will be covered through demonstrations\, after which students will draw these subjects from casts\, photographs\, and life. \nThe first session will focus on the eyes\, often considered the most compelling part of a portrait. \nThe second session will explore the mouth from various angles\, including the complexities of a smile. \nThe third class will cover the nose and ears\, along with the process of aging and its effect on facial features. \nWe will be working in black and white\, so pencil (H\, HB\, 2B\, and 4B)\, charcoal\, or pastel may be used. \nThe goal of this class is to develop a better understanding of the components of the face and to build confidence in drawing and painting portraits in the future. \nTuition:  $85(member)/$115(non-member) \nhttp://www.pineshoresartassociation.org \neducation@pineshoresartassociation.org \n609-597-3557
