CHARLES BASHAM ALL-MEDIA LANDSCAPE PAINTING WORKSHOP

 

When:  Saturday, Oct. 8, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Where:  North Park, off Grafton Road, Brunswick
Who:  Ages 21 and above,

Cost:  BAW members:  $30, non-members: $35 
(you may join at this time to receive the lower rate, membership is $25.00)

The purpose of this class is multi-fold: to paint from the landscape as a means of investigating exterior space, color and light; to incorporate into these paintings your comprehensive understanding of art historical styles; and to develop a contemporaneous manner in utilizing the landscape motif within your own work. In the first case, you should develop an understanding and appreciation of space, light, color and tone by painting the landscape from life and becoming fluent in recording natural phenomena through observation. Secondly, by looking at paintings and reading about them, you can utilize ideas behind them that can inform your own work.  Bring a lunch!   In case of rain, participants will be directed to an alternate site.  Feel free to bring the supplies you usually work with, or use the suggested supply list below if you wish.  For additional information, call Julie Zabkar at 330-741-9362

• A French easel is an unspoken necessity to landscape painters; but if you are unequipped to make the investment, here are some suggestions:  You may want bring a stool or a folding chair of some sort, whether or not you have an easel. Lawn chairs work best, since the legs of regular chairs will sink into the ground. Have a small drawing board to clip or to tack the canvas or painting board.

• Sun block, bug repellant, a water bottle, handi-wipes and other sundry item.

When:  Wednesday, October 5, 2011, 7:30 PM

Where:  Brunswick City Hall

Whether you are looking for information on how to prepare your artwork for exhibition, or how to mat and frame artwork for your home, this is a presentation you won’t want to miss.

Sharon Borror, President of Medina County Art League, and Barbara Johns, former President of Medina County art league will be presenting an informative round-table discussion on the ins and outs of matting and framing.

Many exhibits have strict guidelines, and knowing how to properly present your work may make the difference between being accepted into a show or not, and/or whether you receive an award.
