September Art Design and Dine at CAG with SANDY WARVI AND AMY MAHAFFY

SANDY WARVI

A few words about Sandy -

My favorite media for artwork is watercolor and acrylic.   Both allow for spontaneity and controlled looseness but 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.     

As an artist I enjoy the challenges of using watercolor and acrylic to re-create memories of times spent within and outside of Wyoming.   The unique diversity and beauty found within Wyoming (as well as other areas within the United States) offers an abundance of inspiration for artistic endeavors.

Paintings that portray my grandchildren playing in years past recall both humor and wonder as I recall times spent together.  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 strive to create a mood that will draw others into that subject.

Diane Perry Workshop August 24-25

"Blue Vase" Watercolor by Diane Perry

 

DIANE PERRY WORKSHOP

AUGUST 24 AND 25, 2013

9 AM - 4 PM

Cost:   $130 CAG Members
  $150 Non-Members

 

GLAZING: COLOR + TRANSPARENCY

Part of the magic of watercolor is its transparency. We will be exploring the nature of color when one hue overlaps another. We will explore how to put that transparency to very good use by:

• learning to create a rich assortment of colors

• learning how to alter an "inaccurate" color to produce a more desirable color 

• warming or cooling an already existing color  

 

Bring your own photo references to paint from because each person will be working with subject matter of their own choosing. Feel free to bring existing paintings that you might want input on regarding how to alter particular color problems or issues.

 

 

This workshop is open for beginners to advanced students. It's helpful if folks have had some watercolor experience but certainly is not necessary...every body's welcome!

 

For all the details check out the Cheyenne Artists Guild Website at http://cheyenneartistsguild.weebly.com/diane-perry.html

Hi,

I am the contact person for 2 Don Getz' Watercolor Sketchbook Workshops, 1 in Yellowstone and 1 in Grand Teton National Park.I am wondering if you could email the announcement  below to your members for me.  I am trying to get the info out to all watercolorists in the area.Thank you,Joanne

Don Getz is coming to both Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park in July to teach Pen, Ink and Watercolor Sketchbook Journaling, and I am happy to say that I am the contact person for this opportunity.

Don is from the East Coast and rarely heads out West, so this is a rare opportunity.  I have been waiting to take a class from him for several years!

He is only accepting 12 students for each workshop, so it will be a small group with a lot of individualized attention.

You can see Don’s work and his many accomplishments on his web site:  http://watercolor-online.com/DonGetz

Cheap Joe’s is following Don’s travel across America on the Cheap Joe’s blog, where there are also more examples of Don’s Travel Sketchbook:

Jul. 25-26 (Thursday - Friday)  GRAND Teton National Park, Jackson, WY , cost is $200.

Deposit is $100 per class, non-refundable.  It is first come, first served by postmark date.

I will be at both workshops.  I will also be coordinating a casual dinner at both locations, so we get to know each other.  We will be carpooling into the parks.

Happy Painting!

DIANE PERRY WORKSHOP

Watercolors:  Go With The Flow

March 23rd and 24th

9am - 4pm

Cost:   $130 CAG Members  /  $150 Non-Members

This two day workshop explores the spontaneous nature of watercolor.  Participants will practice techniques that allow the paint to move and flow of its own accord while also creating as much or as little detail as desired.  We will focus on color as well as the importance of variation in edges.  In addition we will paint a step-by-step painting together that utilizes what we learned in our practice sessions.

The workshop includes:

• Numerous demonstrations
• One on one facilitation and attention
• A relaxed and encouraging atmosphere where students work at their own level while stretching their skills into the next level
• A packet of material that includes photo reference(s), step-by-step written instructions for the formal painting we will do together, a template of the painting to trace for those who choose to use it, etc.

The workshop is open for beginners to advanced students.  It's helpful if folks have had some watercolor experience but certainly is not necessary...every body's welcome.

SUPPLY LIST

March 23-24, 2013 Watercolor Workshop

Pencil
Graphite Stick or Graphite Paper

Tape – 1” masking tape to hold paper to backing board

Kleenex or roll of toilet paper (make sure Kleenex is not the type with lotion added)

Water Container 

Palette – the white plastic palettes with wells to hold paint and a large space in the middle to mix
colors work best. You need a color mixing area of at least 5x7 inches to work well.

Paper – VERY IMPORTANT……Buy paper that says it is 100% cotton or 100% rag, such as Arches brand, 300lb or 140lb COLD PRESS watercolor paper. If it’s not 100% cotton or 100% rag the paper is significantly more difficult to paint on. Do not bring Strathmore brand paper. Bring four to five 9”x12” pieces or larger. 

Backing Board:

This needs to be waterproof and bigger than the size paper you will be using because this is what you will tape the paper to. Ex: Plexiglas, Stratocore, Lightweight Watercolor Board. If you are working on a watercolor “block” (not a pad) then you won’t need a backing board.

Brushes:
Choices:

• Synthetic - least expensive, not as even distribution of paint in the brush strokes
• Natural - usually most expensive but gives a consistent distribution of paint
• Blend -best of both worlds, giving an adequate distribution of paint
• If you prefer Flats: 1” Flat Brush, a ¾” Flat Brush, and a ½” Flat Brush
• If you prefer Rounds: #12 Round (Suggestion: Rob’t Simmons Sapphire Round S85 short handle series) Hobby Lobby, Michael's, also online supply stores – see list of stores below
• #6 Round 
• A “scrubber” brush for lifting (a stiff oil or acrylic brush will work pretty well, too)

Paints: 

Any brand will be sufficient for the workshop (I usually use Da Vinci or Daniel Smith brands). We will be working with a limited number of colors for the workshop so these are the colors I will be demonstrating with and the ones I recommend you bring:

• Rose or Permanent Rose
• Ultramarine Blue or French Ultramarine Blue
• Cobalt Blue
• Aureolin (yellow) 
• Winsor Green
• Winsor & Newton Cotman Burnt Sienna 
• OR Daniel Smith Quinacridone Sienna 
• OR Da Vinci Quinacridone Burnt Orange

Sketch book or some printer paper

Hair dryer, if you have one

Spray Bottle 

Kneaded Eraser

Smock, Painter’s Apron, or old clothes…we’re REALLY going to have fun!

If you have questions regarding any of the supplies you’re welcome to email Diane at dianearts7@gmail.com. Or call Diane at (970) 420-2052.

On-line supply sources: 

• Art Supply Warehouse (usually least expensive) www.aswexpress.com
• Daniel Smith (can only find DS paints on their website: www.danielsmith.com
• Jerry’s Artarama: www.jerrysartarama.com  (there’s also a Jerry’s Artarama store in Fort Collins but stock is limited)
