			Animal Painting in Oil May 15-16, 2010 (9:00 am to 4:00 pm) — Join us for an inspiring weekend art workshop at the Village Green Center in the heart of Northbrook, IL. Sarah J. Webber, who resides in Jackson Hole and Tucson, will focus her workshop on painting animals. Working from life (a golden-doodle will model!) and working from photos. Students should bring a photo of a favorite pet or animal they would like to paint. Sarah's style is painterly but also includes an element of realism with a focus on expressiveness, lush color and thick brushwork. She achieves this by starting with a good drawing, then pushing around the paint with a confident but sensitive brushstroke. She also likes to play with color, surface quality, design and simplified form. Website: http://www.northbrookarts.org				Location: Northbrook, IL Instructor: Sarah J.
