Art Under Glass Pastel Workshop with Jude Tolar, PSA, IAPS/MC*

Learn to see and render glass and other reflective subject matter. Clear glass may seem an elusive subject. Its transparent or translucent nature can, however, be translated to paper or canvas when you know how to look and see. In this workshop, you will learn to see the unique–and sometimes subtle–visual information of glass subjects. This information will help you create the forms in your artwork.

Waxing Poetic Workshop - Cold Wax and Oil

Students will learn how to use cold wax and oil as a malleable medium to create texture in painting and multimedia applications. The class is a fun, freeing exploration of this rich medium, employing techniques and playful expression on oil paper. The instructor will cover the properties and demonstrate application of cold wax and oil and then students will paint, paint, paint! The class is limited to 10 participants to allow for individual attention. Be prepared to get messy and have fun! Apron or old clothes are desirable. All supplies are provided. A supply fee of $20 is due to the instructor at the beginning of class. All skill levels are welcome.
