SUMMER WORKSHOPS "Art at the Beach" July 13th July 17th 9 AM 12 PM... $250 for 1 week all professional art materials are included Course suitable for 3rd grade and up (including adults) These five-day workshops are all about painting from nature while enjoying the outdoors. We will be working on location at beaches, wetlands, and other natural parks in the orange county area. We will study waves, marshes, clouds, bluffs and how to paint what you see. Throughout the course, students will learn step by step through the process of creating a successful work of art inspired by nature. The workshop will be divided into two groups depending on age and skill set. The younger students will be led by Esther Yardley in creating with watercolor, pastels, and acrylic paint. The older students will work with Chapman Hamborg creating in oil paints. Chapman, and Esther will give demos and individual critiques to each student during the workshop, specific to their needs. At the conclusion of this workshop, students will have learned how to choose an interesting composition, draw preliminary sketches, apply color theory, use a variety of brushwork and techniques, create depth using atmospheric perspective, and learn how to share their experience in nature through painting. This class is created for all levels of skill from complete beginners to advanced students. Note: we will do our best to maintain social distancing and be as safe as possible.
