			Historic Southport, North Carolina March 15-19, 2010 — This delightful little town lies halfway between Wilmington and Myrtle Beach, right along the Cape Fear Coast. Tony spent weeks exploring and painting there, before first offering this workshop last year. Southport is so photogenic that a number of film and TV productions have chosen it for their location shots. You'll enjoy seeing streets, skirting around sprawling live oaks; the sun and shadow play flickering on stately Victorian homes; the intimate old yacht basin with a shrimp boat or two and lots of pleasure craft, fishing docks and seafood eateries. Then there are nearby fishing villages, the Orton Plantation with its stately gardens, tidal marshes and the intra coastal waterway with the unique Oak Island light in the distance.

			Color Confidence March 15-19, 2010 (9:30 - 4:30) — You will learn how to mix the color you want every time. Most of the class time will be spent mixing color and making small studies. Creativity is sometimes chaotic, but color mixing doesn't have to be, it can be a tool to express your creativity and this class will make it just that. This is a class for all painting media. Instructor demonstrations, along with individual instruction and lots of color mixing projects will be used.

			"What If" Watermedia Workshop with Mary Alice Braukman April 11-16, 2010 — Mary Alice's workshops are an adventure in risk-taking and pushing the medium as far as it will go. One goal is to explore new ideas in mixed water media and collage, and to show visual growth in your art through self expression. Whether working abstractly or representational each painter will be encouraged to find his or her unique, personal direction. We will explore layering of experimental mediums, photo transfers, and collage in depth, striving for results that go beyond obvious techniques and leave people wondering how you created such a gem. Everyone will benefit from the sharing of ideas and critiques. A painter's work is their journal.

			Aqua Media/ Acrylic and Collage: Experimental and Energizing April 11-16, 2010 — This class that introduces you to new and experimental ways of painting with water based acrylics. Be ready to try one thing after another as we layer and use acrylic paint in various manners from transparent to translucent to opaque! Emphasis will be achieving line, depth and texture in your work using techniques of: resists, lifting staining, printing, scraping, collage, gold leaf, heavy gel medium and gesso. The focus of the workshop is abstract; however, combining abstract with realistic elements is an option. Students will be working on different hot press plate surface papers. Each day will include several demos and time for the student to work. Color mixing and basic design elements will be presented through demonstration and visual aids.

			Watercolor Energies and Composition May 24-28, 2010 — Frank Webb is one of the nation's premier watercolor teachers and brings enthusiasm and energy to his classes, making painting an exhilarating enterprise. "My work proceeds from on-the-spot graphite drawings made from a lifetime of travels. Each drawing is edited, fused with design principles, and used as the model. With large flat brushes and plenty of water I approach the paper in a slam-bang initial wash, and end with the caress of a butterfly wing."

			Vibrant Painting in Colored Pencil May 24-28, 2010 (9am- 4pm; Friday, 9am- 1pm) — Discover the "pointed potential" of colored pencil!

We'll gather each morning at the studio, right next door to the largest art supply outlet store you can imagine. Joe has shared his own favorite painting locations in the area, where Tony starts with a morning demonstration and you can paint and enjoy all day. An afternoon critique back at the studio enables you to actually see just how to finish your efforts. As on all workshops, suggested improvements are painted on a sheet of acetate, placed on top of your work. The actual painting is never touched.
