Are you interested in learning how to start painting or perhaps, you have let those paints and pencils sit for a few years, collecting dust, and you need some motivation to respond to your creative urges?
I will be offering my course The Creative Journey I: Exploration in Drawing and Watercolor this July 9th-10th, 2013, from 9:00-4:00 daily on the NDSCS campus in Wahpeton, North Dakota. This two-day workshop is an introductory overview of non-threatening drawing and watercolor techniques to spur the creative energy of all levels of artists. This course will include topics such as sketchbook journaling, making effective value studies, making sense of the color wheel, tips on creating strong compositions, and learning to deal with the “inner critic” and other blocks to creative progress. This course is sponsored by the Red Door Art Gallery in Wahpeton. The cost of instruction is $100 for two days. A supply list will be available soon. Those who are new to watercolor may purchase a “sampler kit” for a small fee.
I will be also teaching my 2-day workshop titled, “The Creative Journey II: Exploration in Value and Composition”, on July 16th-17th, also on the NDSCS campus in Wahpeton. This course goes into greater depth to better understand and practice key topics of value and composition in drawing and watercolor. Creative Journey I is a recommended prerequisite to this course.
The Red Door Art Gallery in Wahpeton will be handling the registration and payment. Payment is due upon registration. Minimum class size is 10 and maximum class size is 15. I prefer to keep my classes small to allow for more individualized instruction.
I hope to see you at either class this summer!- Barbara
