PLEIN AIR MARATHON

Carol Herr, Saturday, June 14: 9-4:30 (Raindate June 21). $25 members; $30 non-members.

Our Plein Air Marathon will visit 3 unique and scenic locations throughout the day. You can paint, sketch, take photos or anything else you would like to do! Artist and instructor Carol Herr will be available to give advice and help.

We will visit the Hans Herr House in Willow Street, Susquehannock State Park in Drumore Township in the southern part of the county, and the farm of LCAA member Doris Hough where there are horses grazing, gardens and a water lily pond. Doris has a passion for roses and gardening so there will be many things to inspire your creative side. We will head back to the LCAA, returning around 4 - 4:30 pm, tired but with lots of new inspiration.

We will be carpooling to the locations, so let us know if you can drive or if you would like to ride with someone. (We will be giving out written directions to the locations that morning). You should bring your own art supplies, easels, chair, etc. for the day. (We suggest keeping them to a minimum, it’s very tiring dragging around things that you don’t need).

BEGINNING WATERCOLOR WORKSHOP

Linda Gaston, Wednesday, July 9, 10-3. $35 members; $45 non-members.

Beginner Watercolor: Morning class will include: materials and supplies, basic techniques, basic terms, discussion of the basic qualities of watercolor, and some exercises to learn the basic techniques. After a short lunch break we will do a simple painting, learning the order in whiich to work, and some work on value studies.

Supplies: I am particular about the quality of supplies, as you can’t get good results if you are using inferior products, so I so supply a “kit” consisting of 3 brushes, a plastic covered pallet, and a reasonable amount of paint. (15 colors). Students may purchase the kit for $60.00 (my cost) or rent it for the day for $20.00.

If you rent the kit 3 times, it is yours to keep. If you have some supplies, call me ahead of time to see if they are acceptable. Paints sold in “sets” (Niji, for example) are NOT acceptable. Brushes sold in batches of 10 or 15 for $10.00 are NOT acceptable, and Strathmore paper is not acceptable. If you want to buy things ahead of time, call the teacher 560-5607. I will bring paper that you can buy for about $1.00 a sheet.

Additional supplies: Drawing pad , regular #2 pencil, soft pink or white eraser, plastic water container (or metal vegetable can) (to hold 1.5 cups water. Two is a bonus! Paper towels, white “artist’s tape”, and a hard, flat surface -at least 16 x 20- to which you can tape your paper. Masonite or plexiglass are good, two layers of “foam-core” taped together is o.k. for a short while. Corrugated cardboard will not work, but a hard smooth surface cardboard will work if you paint it with polyurothane or white enamel.
