Saturday April 19, 2014, 9:30am-3:30pm
Pepperwood Preserve, Santa Rosa, CA
Two painter friends
One known for expressive “painterly” landscapes, one for elegantly rendered still lifes, both passionate about color, offer their unique weekend of watercolor exploration.
You’ll explore skills including
Painting soft-edged wet-in-wet forms, building images by layering marks and shapes, painting seamless transparent washes as a meditative practice, and delineating sharply focused objects.
Approaches
From abstract to realist, from spontaneous space-shaping with a brush to methodical color-forming based on careful drawing.
Your instructors
bring many years of painting and classroom experience to guide you—Marsha at Santa Rosa Junior College and Sally at Healdsburg High School, as well as workshops and classes for students and teachers across the country.
Visit Sally during Art at the Source, May 31 & June 1, 7 & 8 and Sally and Marsha during Art Trails Open Studios, October 11 & 12, 18 & 19, 2014.
View our paintings year round by appointment, at our studios, and at
Art Trails Gallery at Corrick’s 637 4th Street, Santa Rosa, CA
Participants of diverse backgrounds are welcome.
Class is structured around group exercises and individual pursuits, both indoors and in the beautiful Pepperwood landscape. Beginners will find guidance for basic exploration. Experienced painters and repeat students will find support to develop technique and personal expression.
