ADDITIONAL ART CLASSES BY KRIS STRAUKAS
DRAWING STUDIO
Drawing Studio sessions will allow artists to work on their drawing projects with support of an instructor to help achieve their artistic goals.
One of the most difficult tasks artists complain about is scheduling a dedicated time to work on their art. Drawing Studio is the perfect opportunity to carve out some quality time, work among fellow artists, help inspire one another, and get the creative juices flowing! The instructor will be available to help with composition, transferring, layout, studio tips and ‘tricks of the trade’, along with demonstrations of pencil techniques and different drawing products.
Artists will have the option of using their own photo references, or collaborate with the instructor and fellow artists to creating still-life set ups. Artists will bring their own drawing supplies, snacks and beverages, and/or iPad/Tablet for photo references. Drawing Studio is available for ages 13yrs thru adult. It is highly recommended to have completed a basic drawing class or mastered basic drawing skills prior to attending Drawing Studio. Click INSTRUCTOR for Kris’ Artist Bio.

ENCAUSTIC PAINTING FOR BEGINNERS
This class will teach you the basics in Encaustic painting. Learn how to melt the medium and keep it within a safe working temperature, tools required and safety precautions to get you started. Experiment with different materials to create an 8 x 10 collage. All materials are included.
What is Encaustic Painting? The word “Encaustic” is a Greek word meaning “to heat or burn in”. Encaustic medium is made of natural Beeswax and Damar Resin (crystallized tree sap). The beeswax and resin is melted, pigment can be added, and applied in layers to a porous surface with brushes and other tools. Wax layers are then reheated to fuse it to the previous layer. Encaustic mediums and paints are a versatile, spontaneous medium. They can be re-melted to create different effects, layered in opaque or translucent layers, modeled, textured, scraped, sculpted, polished, or combined with a variety of materials to create collage works. Unlike other paints, encaustic is never wet or dry – it goes from a liquid to a solid state and back again in seconds, allowing additional layers to be added immediately.
Dates Available: April 26th
TIME: 10AM to 3PM
Cost: $145.00 – Per Person Ages: 18+
Materials included.

Watercolor in Dry Brush Workshop
Wildlife & Nature’s Elements
Instructor: Alan R. Young
Explore the technique of painting by subtraction, the lifting of watercolor paint to create highlights. Students will learn the layering process for hard and receding shadows. Each step is followed by a drying period and students are encouraged to work on multiple, simultaneous projects. Using various tools, such as sandpaper and hard edges, some students may try their hand at pre-texturing the watercolor paper for interesting effects found in nature. For more advanced students, examples will be available for the Chiaroscuro effect painting (total contrast). Dry Brush Watercolor, unlike traditional Watercolor, is designed for better control. This is a beginner’s class.
This is a two-day workshop
DATE: June 8th & 9th
TIME: 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM each day.
