			Plein Air with Jim Lamb September 17-19, 2010 — Students of all levels of experience will be welcomed in this landscape painting workshop...and you may work in any media preferred, although my primary focus will be in oil painting. It will not be the goal of the class to produce finished works of art, but rather to be involved in the process of solving problems during the creative process, from the viewing and selection of the subject through to the application of the paint to the canvas. Emphasis will be on strong composition and design, stressing simplification in the massing of values and shapes, as well as the mixing of harmonious colors and the use of textural application of paint. We hope to spend each day on location painting plein air.

			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."
