Spaces left in Fine Arts Workshops
The Elk Grove Fine Arts Center presents a bevvy of workshops and classes every month for all skill levels. Here are some upcoming classes:
Oil Painting, with Kristine Bybee, Saturday, May 8, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., Fee - $50.00
This workshop will include a step-by-step process designed for students to realize a finished painting in oil. Thoughtful demonstrations, critiques and handouts accompany this class to help students achieve maximum results. This workshop designed for the novice to intermediate painter.
Acrylic Abstract Painting, with David Lobenberg, Sunday, May 23, 10:00 am - 2:00 p.m., Fee - $80.00. This workshop is appropriate for beginner to advance painters as well as for painters who want to learn how to paint with acrylics or who already have experience painting. There will be no representational painting what so ever! I'll be passing out some hand outs and talking about all sorts of ways you can think about what you are going to paint BEFORE you put brush to canvas. You will have a road map and not end up with a jumbled, mushy abstract mess with no emotion, feeling, strong color sense, striking composition, etc. We will also explore some great specialized acrylic mediums that can be used for your abstract.
Painting Watercolor Koi Fish, with Ron and Sandy Ridley, Wednesday, May 26, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.,
Fee - $40.00. This watercolor demonstration is designed for both new and experienced painters. All you need is an interest to learn and a desire to have fun.
