She will show you the ins and outs of working with crackle pastes and more using stencils, glazes and pours to achieve that all cracked up look. She will guide you through the tricks of crackle pastes, clear crackle, porcelain crackle, glue and some ingenious new formulas for getting alligator crackles. She will also demonstrate a quick way to get crackle rubbings. Join us for a fun afternoon that'll crack you up. |
 Saturday, January 28, 2012, 1:30-3:30pm - Secret Tricks to Pouring Acrylic with Nancy Reyner. Nancy Reyner demonstrates how to get that "surfboard finish" on paintings and other artworks, by using techniques of pouring fluid acrylic mediums.
Ever wonder how to get a super glossy, brushless and smooth rich layer of color or clear coating on a painting? Nancy reveals all the tips and tricks to achieving this and more, using acrylic - avoiding the use of toxic resins. Other techniques covered include marbleized color, poured glazes and layered pours to obtain rich color fields and enhanced refraction. Technical tips, cool tricks, free product samples and information packets are available to all participants, including hand-painted color charts. |
 Saturday, February 4, 2012, 1:30-3:30pm - Oil Sticks: The Secret to Brushless Oil Paintings with Sara J. Chambers. Sara J. Chambers will demonstrate her fun textural approach to creating almost brush- less oil paintings, using the oil medium known as "oil sticks" or "oil bars." She will paint a western landscape from a collage of photographs, with possibly some touches of palette knife oil applied to give added dimension and texture. Sara will use a substrate she has created from acrylic paint, pumice and board or canvas.

 Drawing Still Life with Joyce Shupe, MFA
Friday, December 9, 9AM-4PM, $85.00+tax with a one hour lunch break
There is nothing "still" about a still life drawing. They can be mysterious, each object having a distinct "personality and presence" of it's own. How the objects relate to each other to create an image that works is an exciting journey. In this one day workshop the class will use an approach that is both simple and guaranteed to succeed. They will explore all aspects of still life from drawing the objects, to composition, value, how to create "space" and how to develop one's own personal "mark making". Work will be done in charcoal.
For registration & materials list contact Joyce at (505) 268-4469 or joyceshupe@gmail.com |

Artisan's Artist of the Month
Meet Matananda Ben-Shmuel. "My inspiration to paint could be sparked by remnants of a story, a dream, or a feeling of connection with something greater than myself. It is a time beyond time where I can let go of the busyness of the day and also the hardness of what is going on in the world. "
