Continuous line drawing is an expressive way of drawing that will help you develop your “artist’s eye” and help you learn how to draw what you see, not what you think you see. We will study the drawings of Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti and the American artist Charles Reid to gain insight on how to loosen up and learn how to create beautiful, interesting art, not just static replications of objects or the human form. We will explore different drawing mediums such as pencil, pen and ink, marker, etc. and complete several sketches. This workshop is suitable for all levels, no experience necessary. All supplies included.

No experience necessary, but you may get hooked! Fran Kohlmeier lives in New Bern, NC. She loves to discover beauty in the ordinary and the extraordinary within the serendipity of collage, the strength of abstract shapes, and the serenity of simple landscapes. She draws inspiration for her beautiful watercolors, pastel paintings, acrylic still lifes and landscapes from the world around her.

Still-Life painting has been a popular genre for novice and famous artists throughout history. This workshop will introduce you to fluid acrylics (acrylics that behave like watercolors!) on a waterproof, synthetic surface called Yupo. It’s so much fun to work on Yupo because the paint is not absorbed by the paper, therefore the colors stay vibrant and many watercolor/layering effects can be achieved. No painting experience is necessary and all supplies are included! Bring your favorite beverage and a smile! (Art Level- ALL Creative Hands/Beginner to Expert)

| Historically, a cabochon (Ka-bow-shawn) ” also referred to as a cab” is a gemstone that has been shaped and polished instead of faceted. These stones typically have a flat side and one domed side. Nowadays, cabochons are made of more than just gemstones. Learn how to use fluid acrylics, stamps, and other materials to create mini masterpieces that fit into cabochon pendants. Got any old, ugly paintings on paper that didn’t work out? Bring them with you and upcycle them! Each participant will make 2-3 pendants each. This workshop is suitable for all levels, no art experience necessary and all supplies are included. |
