May 14, 10 a.m.-1 p.m.: Getting to Done with Debra Arter. Do you have unfinished art that you haven’t been able to complete? Debra Arter will show you six ways to help you finish those watercolors, acrylics, or mixed media pieces. The atmosphere will be supportive and exploratory. All you need to do is bring your work. A snack will be provided, but feel free to bring a sack lunch. Arter holds a BA and MFA in fine art. She has been teaching art to adults for over 20 years. She is a member of the National Collage Society as well as the Boston Printmakers.
For students interested in plein air painting, enrolling in both June 20 workshops with Deena Ball will provide the most effective learning experience: June 20, 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.: Simplified Plein Air: Class covers the preliminary steps in simplifying a landscape that can be applied to the creation of an artistic work in any medium. Learn principles in the morning and apply them in the afternoon painting session: 1:30-4:30 p.m.: Plein Air All Media: A continuation of the morning class designed for beginning painters who want to paint outdoors and for the more experienced plein air painters who would like guidance from a professional. Students select a subject, plan their painting using tools discussed in the morning session, and use the afternoon to complete a painting.
July and August classes include simple stitched bookmaking, sketchbook with Joelle Webber, journaling in watercolors with Diane Dubriel, and flower photography with Olga Merrill.
