This monochromatic foundation layer quietly establishes proportions and composition\, allowing artists to refine their vision and to lay the groundwork for vibrant colors to flourish. The Old Masters revered this method for its reliable guidance in achieving accurate and well-composed paintings.\nKen Goshen is an NYC-based artist and educator with a background in classical painting and printmaking. Goshen’s art explores the gap between conceptualized pictorial visions and experiential sensory inputs. His work brings together traditional techniques and a contemporary outlook–evoking both a sense of nostalgia and an exhilaration of the unexplored. \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88095761625?pwd=dTZCSWhtNlZFQUQvWjRtZ1RNMEFjUT09 URL:https://newtonartassociation.com/event/demo-by-ken-goshen-oil-portrait-underpainting/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Demos ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newtonartassociation.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/16-Selfie-Monochrome-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240221 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240406 DTSTAMP:20260608T051958 CREATED:20240215T035302Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240215T035721Z UID:10000089-1708473600-1712361599@newtonartassociation.com SUMMARY:2024 Scholarships for High School Seniors DESCRIPTION:Each year\, for more than 35 years\, the NAA has awarded scholarships to senior art students who attend high school in Newton or who are Newton residents.

She also works on a variety of alternative\, non-traditional surfaces to take advantage of different qualities that they can offer for specific subjects. Gesso coated watercolor paper is a favorite alternate. It has similarities to Yupo\, but is less capricious. It’s a “happy medium” between Yupo and cold-pressed paper and is a great surface for watercolor! In her demo\, Alexis will tell and show how easy it is to prepare your paper\, and how she works with this surface. She has a terrific camera set-up. You will have a front row seat to watch and listen as she paints. \nBio \nAlexis Lavine has been creating art all of her life. She earned a Masters Degree from Johns Hopkins University in its acclaimed Art as Applied to Medicine program. She worked as a medical illustrator for several years – and then found herself living in the beautiful\, isolated mountains of western Maryland\, too far away from a medical school or a medical publisher to practice her trade. So she picked up her brushes and her watercolors and started painting the magnificent landscape that surrounded her – and she hasn’t looked back since. \nAlexis paints exclusively with watercolor\, occasionally ”en plein air\,” but more frequently in her studio\, where she constructs paintings which are thoughtfully designed\, carefully drawn\, and sensitively painted. She is also an enthusiastic art instructor\, who teaches painting and drawing classes and workshops. \nAlexis has lived in Greensboro\, North Carolina since 2002. Honored as “One to Watch” by Watercolor Artist Magazine\, her paintings have been published in Splash\, The Artistic Touch\, The Best of Watercolor\, and Watercolor Artist. She is a signature member of the American Watercolor Society\, National Watercolor Society\, Watercolor Honor Society\, Transparent Watercolor Society of America\, Watercolor West\, North East Watercolor Society\, and Southern Watercolor Society. Her work can be found in galleries in the mid-Atlantic and Southern states\, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. \nYou can see many of her paintings and learn more about her art and teaching by visiting her web site: www.alexislavineartist.com URL:https://newtonartassociation.com/event/demo-alexis-lavine-watercolor/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Demos ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newtonartassociation.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Lavine-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241121T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241121T203000 DTSTAMP:20260608T051958 CREATED:20240820T041405Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241120T145020Z UID:10000098-1732215600-1732221000@newtonartassociation.com SUMMARY:PD: Nicholas M.
