Depicting Fur with Colored Pencil w/ Amy Lindenberger
Many artists enjoy depicting animals in their work, and if there's one thing many animals have in common, it's fur! But fur comes in many versions, from the smooth hair of a horse, to the dense fur of a lion's mane, to the thick, soft fur of a Persian cat. In this class, we will use a variety of colored pencil techniques to create several small swatches of different types of fur, then --as time permits-- students may choose one type to render as a more complete animal study.

Watercolor Workshop w/ Lynne Yancha
Back by popular demand, Lynne Yancha, a well-known watercolor artist, will instruct fellow artists to shift their consciousness, just slightly, so that your painting experience is more meaningful and fun, while at the same time taking your work seriously.
Among the items she'll emphasize are:
- Working from Photographs
- The importance of a thumbnail sketch
- Paint application
- Importance of light and allowing mistakes
- How to combine the elements of abstraction and realism in work
Yancha usually starts each day with a demonstration, emphasizing different techniques. She'll include a slideshow, a still-life for students to copy while she provides positive critiques for students throughout the day.
