SUMMARY:Light Fantastic with Betsey MacDonald
DESCRIPTION:Light Fantastic with Betsey MacDonald \nTuesdays\, March 17\, 24\, 31 & April 7 from 10:00AM–1:00PM (4 classes) \nIntermediate to Advanced Levels \n‘To me\, every square inch of a painting space is about light and dark. Understanding light is the foundation of our art. Without it there is no contrast\, no color\, no vision. In this class we will continue to explore light and how it emerges through color theory. Join us to investigate how the variety of watercolor techniques\, particularly the use of transparent layers will allow us to create our own light inspired visions. This class is a continuation of “See The Light” but newcomers are more than welcome!’ \nMATERIALS LIST\nMaterials student will need to provide: :  watercolor set(an inexpensive tray is fine but a set of tubes with palette is great\, too)\, variety of brushes\, masking fluid\,  watercolor block or pad(at least 140 lb\, 8x 10\, 12 x 16\, 16 x 20 or a few sheets with a gator foam board for stapling or some other support  or 300 lb paper which doesn’t need mounting\,  hot or cold press or even rough can work\, jar or two for water\, spray bottle\, sponge or two\, #2 pencil or mechanical pencil\, paper towels.  Several printed 8 x 10  photos taken by the student of light on the subjects of choice. Betsey will be bringing grapes and oranges etc for the first class. \n$170 Members | $200 Non-members \nCLASS REGISTRATION – CURRENT MEMBERS \nCLASS REGISTRATION – NON-MEMBERS

SUMMARY:See The Light with Betsey MacDonald
DESCRIPTION:See The Light with Betsey MacDonald \nTHIS CLASS IS FULL\, please email wickarteducation@gmail.com to be added to the wait list.  \nTuesdays\, January 13\, 20\, 27 and February 10 from 10:00AM–1:00PM (4 classes) \nIntermediate to Advanced Levels \nIn January\, just when we’re ready to see more light\, we’ll use watercolor as our medium\, to study just how light hits our subject to create a sense of luminous form. Watercolor is transparent\, fluid and luminous. It glows because light moves through it and reflects off the white paper\, unlike an opaque medium. In this class\, we’ll work with a single light source\, using our own objects and then our own photos to create the illusion of luminous dramatic light and paintings that glow. \n\nAcquire skills with a variety of watercolor painting techniques\nLearn about clean color mixing and layering\nLearn to better see the light as it creates highlights and shadows\nCreate a variety of values using simply the addition of water to watercolor\nCreate a variety of values through the use of colors\nImprove observational skills through painting from life\nUse value/color to render objects in light and shadow \nUnderstand how values can be used to create form\nRender objects by selectively and knowledgably using color\nObserve\, critique and discuss student work and master paintings\nGain a greater appreciation of how light and painting are connected \n\nMATERIALS LIST \n$170 Members | $200 Non-members \nCLASS REGISTRATION – CURRENT MEMBERS \nCLASS REGISTRATION – NON-MEMBERS

SUMMARY:Fall Back to Nature\, Drawing & Painting with Betsey MacDonald
DESCRIPTION:Fall Back to Nature\, Drawing & Painting with Betsey MacDonald \nTuesdays\, October 28\, November 4\, 18\, 25 – 10:00AM–1:00PM (4 classes) \nNature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own”\, Charles Dickens. October brings us so many things to observe and draw! We’ll study natural objects such as fall foliage\, vegetables and seed pods. From acorns and apples to pumpkins and pine cones\, we’ll marvel at nature’s designs and study the complexity of the life around us as we create art inspired by these objects. Our observation skills will improve as we carefully record what we observe using graphite then colored pencils and finally watercolor. This class is designed for anyone who wants to better see the beauty of nature and use their creativity to study it. \nOnly pencils and erasers are needed for the first class as we’ll discuss other materials as needed also please bring a magnifying glass if you have one.  Materials that you may choose to use:  pencils\, 2B\, 4B and 6B\, erasers\, fine point felt pen\, watercolor (an inexpensive tray is fine) and brushes\, colored pencils. Heavy drawing paper or mixed media paper and watercolor paper. Instructor will bring lots of materials as well. \n$170 Members | $200 Non-members \nCLASS REGISTRATION – CURRENT MEMBERS \nCLASS REGISTRATION – NON-MEMBERS

SUMMARY:Drawing to Completion: Improve Your Painting by Drawing with Betsey MacDonald
DESCRIPTION:Drawing to Completion: Improve Your Painting by Drawing with Betsey MacDonald \nMonday\, October 6th from 1:00-4:00 PM (1 Class) \nBetsey’s students are enjoying this class immensely\, so we have added an additional date!  New students please feel free to jump in for this one session\, you will enjoy and learn!  Current students are welcome to continue working with Betsey on your projects in process for another three hour class.  Betsey is displaying some of her student’s artwork at the gallery for all to see.  Check it out! \nDegas said\, “If I could have had my own way\, I would have confined myself to black and white.” I LOVE to draw! It’s meditative. It teaches me to better see and understand my subject. It forces me to think about value and how I can create the illusion of 3-dimensional form on a 2-dimensional surface just using different grays. In this class\, we’ll confine ourselves to black and white but with a constant eye toward how our discoveries can be translated into color for our future paintings. We’ll draw to complete finished\, quality pieces. We’ll use simple graphite\, tortillons and erasers to create powerful\, intriguing drawings. We’ll do one still life of our favorite\, interesting variety of objects and one drawing from our own photos. \n$65 Members | $95 Non-members \nCLASS REGISTRATION – CURRENT MEMBERS \nCLASS REGISTRATION – NON-MEMBERS
