Exhibit will  include both new and previous work and be displayed this Spring in the Argue Health and Sciences building which overlooks Lake Washington on the NW University campus.  Reception will be held from noon - 2 p.m. on Friday, February 5th.  Exhibit runs through May 5th.  Health Sciences building is open Monday through Saturday, including evenings on Monday thru Thursday.

Forging Your Own Style:  What is your style?  Is it evolving?  Do you agree with Matisse that it is foolish not to look at the work of other artists before taking off in your own direction?  By sifting through scores of images, by using exercises designed to uncover your preferences for shape, color, and line, and by exploring a range of approaches to painting planning, you'll come away with a clearer sense of what style is uniquely yours.   Bring several images (photos or sketches) you'd like to use a subjects for future paintings.

Two hour workshop is held 3 consecutive Tuesdays from 10 am - noon.  Register at Museo Art Academy.

This term is used frequently, but rarely are the steps for emerging ever discussed.  Each artist has his/her goals.  In this class you'll have a chance to refine your goals and identify concrete steps to take to reach them.  Use class time to work on furthering your objectives, whether this includes plans to approach galleries, writing of materials, or mapping your future.  Explore inexpensive, easy ways to market your work even if you are not wild about marketing; and learn about resources to help you stay motivated and inspired along the way by dipping into The Artist's Way (Cameron) and I'd Rather Be in the Studio (Stanfield).

Workshop runs Tuesdays, 3/16, 3/23, and 4/6, from 10 am - noon.  Register at Museo Art Academy.

Underpainting:  It's tempting to rush through the underpainting to get to the main subject.  But by spending more time developing an interesting underpainting, you can integrate it more effectively with your subject.  Learn about new ways to create contrast, unify or fragment your painting,  explore texture, create a mood, and more.  Bring a photo or sketch as your subject.

Workshops run 3 consecutive Tuesdays, 4/13, 4/20, 4/27,  from 10 am - noon.  Register at Museo Art Academy.  Click on Workshops for Teens/Adults. 
 

It's tempting to rush through the underpainting to get to the main subject.  But by spending more time developing an interesting underpainting, you can integrate it more effectively with your subject.  Learn about new ways to use textures, masking tape, strong constrast, rollers, and so forth, to create underpaintings that work with your style.  Two times:  11 a.m. or 1:45 p.m.  Date:  April 18th, Sunday.
