			How To Create Unique and Meaningful Art June 22-25, 2010 — Escape the ordinary and paint the extraordinary. Because all great paintings begin with a great concept, students first learn how to develop a concept for their own paintings by using an effective method developed by Kathy. The next step is to translate that concept into a working thesis, or artist's statement. Kathy then demonstrates how to use that thesis to create a series of paintings that is uniquely meaningful, technically consistent and masterful. Daily instruction is followed by student engagement in this think - write - paint - share workshop. Kathy teaches with warmth, humor, enthusiasm, and insight. As an experienced teacher and award-winning artist, she is able to help students develop and improve technical skills in painting as well as concept development.

			Watercolor Painting July 13-15, 2010 — Paint the summer colors at this beautiful and historic location overlooking the beautiful Connecticut River Valley while relaxing in the comfort of the Gibson House Inn. This workshop will focus on plein air landscape painting with some classroom instruction and will be open to all abilities. Born 1954, in Rochester, NY, Robert O'Brien has been painting in the watercolor medium for thirty years. Since moving to Vermont in 1977, he has focused his work on landscape and architectural studies. The artist finds beauty in the ordinary, subtle reminders of everyday life in rural New England. In his own words, he is driven "to capture the vanishing landscape in my paintings" before they disappear forever as a result of the steady hand of "progress."

Every student is given individual attention in painting a scene on location with color harmony and design. Katheryn's classical yoga workshops will awaken in her students new levels of awareness to the therapeutic and inspirational aspects of poses that calm, cleanse, energize and provide restful moments throughout the day. Yoga postures' ability to work on specific parts of the body and provide healing effects is a key focus to Katheryn's approach.

			The Coloristic Painterly Approach vs. The Tonal Approach to Painting With Pastel July 27-29, 2010 — Color is expressive and the most personal tool in the artist's arsenal of equipment. Federico considers himself to be a colorist and a contemporary impressionist. He looks for the essence in a landscape or a figure, while applying emotional and aesthetically crafted content. "I believe that art is as capricious as nature's own whims. It is as permanent as the endless striving for universal harmony, but in a constant flux. My technique is varied with mood and empathy for the subject matter or motif. Nature provides the catalyst -human or otherwise - with this constant flux of rhythms, shapes and boundless energy. Each painting speaks for itself and has a life of its own. I am the stoker of the energy, the catalyzer."

			Fall Colors in New Hampshire October 13-17, 2010 — This workshop is ideally timed for the peak of fall foliage colors. It is held in one of those charming areas of New England too small to find on a map. You'll love to paint the rolling countryside and sparkling lakes of "On Golden Pond" fame. Other subjects are weathered barns and farmsteads. Remember those old Saturday Evening Post covers? You'll feel as if you are actually painting one of those in picturesque villages like Freedom and Tamworth. Non-painters always enjoy the White Mountains nearby as well as outlet shopping in North Conway. This is our 28th year at the Purity Spring Resort in East Madison, which offers delicious meals, comfortable rooms and our studio available around the clock.
