			WIFAS presents Making a Painting Work with Ned Mueller March 26-28, 2010 — A good painting is a very personal statement by the artist and tells as much about the artist as the painting itself. We will talk about the whole process of putting a painting together, from the first concept, to small idea, value or color studies to a more finished product. Weather permitting students may work outside if they choose as the boat center has a multitude of great painting subjects. The emphasis will not be so much on a finished painting as the process of achieving it. Most paintings are ruined at the start because of little thought and idea of what to paint and how one will do it. We will work on color harmony and the balance of shapes and edges in size, value and color.

			WIFAS presents Figure Drawing in Charcoal with Henry Yan August 9-13, 2010 — Henry has many years of experience in teaching drawing and painting at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California. This class focuses on various techniques and styles in drawing human figures and portraits - both short and long pose charcoal drawings from life models. Different techniques mentioned in my book (Henry Yan's Figure Drawing-Techniques and Tips) will also be introduced and practiced in class. Other than techniques, students will also be encouraged to find their own way of seeking beauty from each pose, and to interpret what they found with a personal artistic approach instead of just copying.

			WIFAS presents Brighten Your Paintings with Kevin Gorges October 4-8, 2010 — We will focus on simplicity rather than complexity in our paintings. Artists frequently ask themselves the same question while they are in the beginning or middle of a painting: what do I do now? We will explore skills and habits that can help you answer that question and address composition, drawing, and color mixing. Part of my strategy is to reduce the detail in the painting, and focus on the simple task of mixing the right color, and painting in large simplified shapes. This course will also include a discussion of artist materials, including mediums, and choices of varnishes. My goal as a teacher is to find what motivates students, and provide strategies to help them enjoy the act of painting without becoming overwhelmed and self-critical.

			Watercolor Energies and Composition October 11-14, 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."
