SUMMARY:Watercolor Explorations
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a self-proclaimed “non-artist\,” all are welcome in this one-of-a-kind exploration of watercolor. \nWe’ll work with a variety of professional-grade supplies—including Dr. Ph. Martin’s watercolor inks for vibrant\, jewel-like color\, \nwatercolor pencils for greater control and experimentation\, traditional watercolors\, and more. \nAlong the way\, we’ll explore color mixing\, washes\, layering\, observational drawing\, how to choose the right supplies\, and techniques for gaining greater control over the medium. \nEach exercise builds on the last\, allowing you to apply what you’ve learned as we progress to the next work. \nLed by Teaching Artist Jenny Santa Maria\, with nearly two decades of watercolor experience\, this workshop brings together materials and techniques you’re unlikely to encounter in a typical watercolor class. \nYou’ll leave with several finished works\, greater confidence\, and practical skills to continue exploring on your own. \nAll materials are provided\, so you can arrive and begin creating right away. \nTuition:  $65 (non-member)/$55 (member) \nhttp://www.pineshoresartassociation.org \neducation@pineshoresartassociation.org \n609-597-3557 \n

SUMMARY:Building Better Paintings Through Stronger Composition and Design
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, students will learn the essentials of strong design and composition so they can bring their paintings to a higher level. \nThrough guided exercises\, students will practice seeing the picture plane in terms of shapes\, value\, color\, continuation\, aerial perspective\, and overall design rather than relying only on subject matter. \nThe class will introduce the basic principles of composition in an accessible\, practical way\, giving students a stronger foundation for creating successful paintings. \nEach week\, Joyce will provide one photo for students to redesign. \nThe first week will focus on a landscape\, the second on a still life\, and the final week on a figurative painting. \nAs a group\, students will discuss the changes they made and consider how those choices strengthen or weaken the painting. \nStudents may continue working on their pieces at home if they wish. \nTuitions:  $100/ $85 (members) \nhttp://www.pineshoresartassociation.org \neducation@pineshoresartassociation.org \n609-597-3557

SUMMARY:Pysanky Egg Decorating: The Ancient Art of Ukrainian Egg Decorating
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the spring at Pine Shores Art Association with this unique opportunity to learn a skill and folk tradition that is traditionally passed down by the Matriarch of the family. \nPysanky is an ancient art of creating beautiful designs on eggs. \nPatterns are drawn on the egg with hot beeswax\, which then protects the covered areas from the dye that is applied. \nBy repeating this process with different colors of dye\, a multi-colored pattern is built up. \nThe wax is removed at the end to reveal the colors that were covered up at each stage. \nA great deal of patience and concentration is required to complete a single egg\, but it is very rewarding to reveal your hard work when the wax is taken off. \nAll skill levels and ages can create an original pysanka. No prerequisite skills required. \nThis workshop will cover the history and traditions surrounding pysanky\, demonstration\, and an independent practice session. \nThe instructor will provide a variety of organic eggs and dyes; all supplies are included. \nPlease bring a container or old egg carton to take home  your creation. \nAges 18+ \nTuition:  $55/$50(member) \nhttp://www.pineshoresartassociation.org \neducation@pineshoresartassociation.org \n609-597-3557
