Jeanie Schlump Workshop

Sept 28-29, 2013 9am-4pm
                   9am- 4pm with one hour lunch break

 "Getting the ANGST out with Acrylics"

 A fun filled two day workshop will teach the easy way to render details in minutes instead of hours by using inexpensive (or free) supplies. We will use newspaper, newsprint, toothbrushes, mat board, dried leaves, etc. Class will also experiment with new techniques to reveal textures. We will start with 2 still life objects and learn the advantage of taping and blocking.

2 Day workshop costs

$100 for Members and $125 for Non-Members

Located at the Cheyenne Artists Guild

1701 Morrie Avenue, Cheyenne WY 82001

INFO ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

There is nothing more forgiving than acrylics. They dry fast, can be corrected by erasing with gesso, they can be scrubbed like watercolor, glazed like oils, and they clean up with water!  This 2 day work shop will cover simple methods to expedite the painting process. We will use newsprint, old rags, toothbrushes, masking tape, Xerox prints, etc.  Why the angst?  We can fix ANYTHING and try new ideas without conscience! We will work on several projects at once and try multiple techniques in the process.

SUPPLIES:

• Glass palette no less the 8”x10” (free from most glass shops) If you have an acrylic palette, bring it.    
•  9” x 12” or 10” x 14” canvas tablet (10-12 sheets per pad)
•  Dark blue masking tape (I will bring some.)       
•  4 pieces of cardboard
• 14”x18” to tape projects onto
• ACRYLIC paints: If you have a set of acrylics, bring them. If you do not, a simple set of crimson, ultramarine blue, yellow, and white will suffice. We can mix most hues with those basics. Burnt umber, burnt sienna, and yellow ochre are good additions as well. I will try to bring in some paints if necessary, but you will need to supply the white. 
• Gesso if you already have some, I will also bring some
• BRUSHES:   Most of you will have brushes, but if you do not, try inexpensive ones first! NEVER use your expensive sable, badger, or squirrel haired watercolor brushes with acrylics! They will be frazzled in seconds! Synthetic or bristle brushes work very well with acrylics.
• Cheap toothbrush with no bells and whistles, flat.  Flat natural hog’s hair paintbrushes (plain wooden handles, sold at Wal-Mart, Lowes, & craft stores cheap for $.85-$2 each ½”, 1”, 2”. (I use these constantly.)  
• And… Golden Taklon sells sets with both rounds and flats cheaply in every discount store. (Buy a set of the largest sized Golden Taklons you can.) Make sure your set includes both rounds and flats
• OR…. Bristle brushes #6 round & 16 flat 
• If you have brushes, bring them in!   

MISCELLANEOUS SUPPLIES:

• 2 wide -mouthed jars       
• Paint scraper to clean palette      
• Smock to protect clothing
• Spray bottle for water
• Rags or paper towels
• Ivory soap or brush soap for you AND your brushes     
• A sense of humor

Diana Riverstone 

March Guest Presentation on 

"Creative Inspiration"

What is creativity? What seems to shut off the flow of inspiration that keeps us creating? How can we get back into that flow and/or enhance that process? Artists and creators of all kinds know those special times when we get so wrapped up in what we are doing, time seems to disappear, and work just happens. When we come back to our ordinary focus, we realize we were "someplace else" and we don't really know how to get back there. Over the last few years I have been learning and discovering ways to tap into that process at will and am delighted to share this with you. 

Diana Riverstone: 

"I began painting in earnest about six years ago and quickly became bored with painting in the style and with the materials I first learned. I switched to acrylics because of all the mediums available and the incredible potential in them. During this time, I also read books by artists, some that were tremendously thought provoking. I was also learning more about being a real human being and how we work. This taught me steps to shift my brain waves at will and to touch into that deepest flow of inspiration. The steps are easy and can be done by anyone."

"Examples below show different ways to use the same materials. These kinds of painting resulted from my using the techniques I have learned to enhance inspiration. I’ll be sharing some of them in the presentation and will talk you through them so you can use them on your own"

Cougar Country – Painting by Diana Riverstone 

Primarily acrylic paint with light application of textural medium to create the rocks and foreground. I used interference gold to highlight the hills which shifts from gold to platinum depending on the angle of viewing.



Midnight Magic – Painting by Diana Riverstone

Used stucco, fiber, sand and black lava mediums with interference, iridescent, metallic and acrylic paints. There is a glowing bronze-gold highlights on the leaves which can be seen at certain angles. A “sculptural painting” that explores what might be possible with these materials.




Splendor – Painting by Diana Riverstone

Acrylic and iridescent paints done on two sides of a piece of glass and protected by another, unpainted glass. Parts of the snowy foreground are actually the background painted on the reverse side of the glass and shows through as clear “ice” puddles and adds color to the snow in other areas. Painting on both sides of the glass makes an unexpected separation (thickness of the glass itself) of the foreground from the background.

CAG Member in the Spotlight:

SANDY WARVI

Cheyenne, WY

"I enjoy the challenges of using watercolor and acrylic as watercolor to re-create memories of times spent within and outside of Wyoming.   Having lived in Wyoming since 1963, I consider myself to be a semi-native Wyoming resident.  I greatly appreciate the unique diversity and beauty found within this state and other areas within our great nation.  Much satisfaction is achieved when an image can be turned into a successful watercolor.  When my work is going well, I experience serenity but also a sense of exhilaration.

Watercolor and acrylic as watercolor allows for spontaneity and controlled looseness but it can also be used to create intricate detail.  I especially appreciate the brilliance of color and the illusion of light that can be achieved.  Utilizing these properties, a work of art can be created to intrigue the viewer while also leaving some interpretation to the individual.     

Paintings that portray my grandchildren playing in years past recall both humor and wonder as I recall times spent together.  More recent work has been exploring nature’s landscapes and creating my interpretation of those images.  When I begin a piece, I must remember what first peaked my interest.  Then as an artist, I hope to create a mood that will draw others into the subject."
