SUMMARY:DEMO: Donna Calleja
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recording\n					 \nDEMO: Donna Calleja\nOctober 25@ 1-3pm \nDonna Calleja creates paintings that are inspired by her observation of light on fruit\, shells and flowers from her home garden. She composes natural forms together for their shape\, color and texture from direct observation and her imagination. She wants to interpret the beauty of light on natural forms and hopes to provide her viewers with a moment of quiet reflection. \nHer painting process begins with a bold underpainting that defines a composition of light and shadow. With close observation she adds layers of color to build texture and detail. She loves the quiet process of seeing the details slowly emerge in her paintings. \nDonna Calleja retired a few years ago from a rewarding career teaching art to high school students. She now loves teaching private adult painting classes and having more time to paint. Her paintings have been on display in recent shows at Nahcotta\, Concord Art\, E. Drumm Designs\, Storefront Art Projects and The South Shore Art Center. Her paintings are created with acrylic paint on panel at her home studio in Watertown\, MA. \nImage: Fig and Lemon\, Acrylic on Panel\, 6 x 6 inches \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84200889399?pwd=eXjtVTaoZLd1urJsaaMAaDy3bZScPa.1Meeting ID: 842 0088 9399Passcode: 630941

SUMMARY:DEMO: Deborah Drummond - Printing with a Gel Plate

SUMMARY:DEMO: Christie Scheele - Painting with Cold Wax
DESCRIPTION:DEMO: Christie Scheele – Painting with Cold Wax\nJanuary  22@ 7-9pm \n					\n									Watch Recording\n					 \nMy intentions for the demo are to show the progression of steps in how I attain my technique. We will begin with an assessment of my reference photo and then move on to color mixing and critiquing the palette followed by brush technique\, laying the paint in on top of the dark ground. Over the two hours\, the composition will coalesces while we discuss color\, edge\, shape\, and directionality\, content\, and mood. \nChristie Scheele began painting her atmospheric\, minimalist landscapes just before moving to the Catskills from New York City in 1990. She is an exhibiting artist of over forty years in multiple galleries nationwide.

SUMMARY:DEMO: Alexis Lavine - Design and Paint a Vignette
DESCRIPTION:DEMO: Alexis Lavine – Design and Paint a Vignette\nFebruary  26@ 7-9pm \nAlexis Lavine loves to teach\, to share her many decades of making art\, and to show people how she works. Along her journey through life and her pathway through art\, she has succeeded in reaching her biggest and most challenging goal of all\, by achieving signature status in both the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society. She still has to pinch herself\, when she thinks about that! She has earned some other signature memberships in other watercolor societies\, found galleries to represent her work\, and she has won some nice awards for her paintings … but she thinks it is kind of boring and bragging to read a list of them. Instead she wants to let her work speak for itself. And she will speak for herself too\, when she meets with you in February. She is looking forward to seeing you then! \nDESIGN & PAINT A VIGNETTE! \nDon’t we love the look of a pristine\, sparkling\, white sheet of watercolor paper? A vignette is a painting that does not fill every square inch of our paper. It leaves some areas\, usually in the corners\, unpainted\, and we can celebrate our beautiful watercolor paper by leaving it revealed in this way. \nAlexis is a watercolor painter\, but this subject\, and the principles behind it\, can be utilized by ALL painters\, using ALL media! \nIn this demo\, you will see Alexis create an image\, which ties into the edges of the paper\, seamlessly interlocking with untouched sections of white paper near the corners and the borders. Choosing a vignette format can be a clever way to deal with certain problematic subjects\, and it can result in paintings which are even more captivating and dynamic than paintings which fill up the complete rectangle. Creating a successful vignette depends on substantial principles\, thoughtful designing\, and inventive use of values\, colors\, and edges. Alexis will give you valuable instruction\, lots of great ideas\, and plenty of inspiration\, as to how to use this format. \nHere are some example of vignettes. Notice how Alexis has left areas of beautiful white paper\, interlocking them with the painted areas of her image. Join Alexis for an evening of energizing\, encouraging\, and valuable instruction. You’ll have ideas and plans to keep you painting for a long time! \n\n\n\n\nAlexis Lavine\, AWS\, NWSVisit my website here: alexislavineartist.com \nJoin Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86476400798?pwd=DZwxBFROsbsuyHon480uUyIGNlZnyT.1Meeting ID: 864 7640 0798Passcode: 080627
