September 2 to September 30
September 2 | Paint Fall colors
Watercolor is perfectly suited for picturing the bright reds, yellows and oranges of fall. Put these hues to good use in a composition with a natural setting. Bring a photo and a sketchbook plus your watercolors.
September 9 | Drawing with charcoal
Charcoal is a simple medium suitable for any subject. It allows marks ranging from deep black to very light, with hard or soft edges. We will review the different types of charcoal and demonstrate a drawing. Bring a pad suitable for charcoal, such as a Strathmore series 400 drawing pad, 9 x 12 inches. Also bring vine or willow charcoal if you have it. I will bring some to try.
September | 16 Painting with soft pastel
The distinguishing quality of soft pastels is the intense colors they offer. This intensity is due to the fact that the sticks are mostly pigment, with only a small amount of binder. The basic technique is to draw directly on the surface. Bring a pad designed for soft pastels, such as Canson Mi-Teintes Pastel Assorted Color Pad 9 in. x 12 in. and a subject to draw. Photos are OK. Bring soft pastels if you have them; I will share mine. Also bring paper towels.
September | 23 Apples in the Sun
Fresh apples are one of the delights of the fall. Hanging on a branch in the warm light of fall the red of the apples makes a striking contrast with the green of the leaves. Bring three red apples and your watercolors.
September 30 | Painting Glass
Representing the transparency of glass with paint requires careful observation. The shape of a vase or jar can be represented by low intensity colors that follow the sides, top and bottom of the object. Bring your watercolor supplies and a simple glass object.
