constructed environment. Each individual chooses to work as
desired and options for critiques on their techniques and
concepts.

Composition
Structures & Self Critique
Carla O'Connor
The focus of this workshop will be to create
total abstract or non-objective works that are based in reality.
All efforts will be directed toward strengthening and further
developing your own personal style. Using a combination of
watercolor and gouache, we will focus on composition,
semi-abstraction, and plain old painting. Each day will have
unique exercises in design, value, mood, texture, shape making,
and the basic disciplines of drawing and painting. There will be
mini-demonstrations and critiques. All level are welcome. No

subjects will be needed. Sketches or photos taken by you of
doorways,

Painting
the Essence of Nature
Barbara NechisThis course is not designed for beginners or part-time
participants. A different idea or method will be
demonstrated and explored each day. You may choose to
emphasize either abstract or realistic forms. A wide range
of subject matter will be addressed, but the emphasis will
be on concept, color, and design. There will be daily
demonstrations and critiques, each lasting about an hour so
that time for painting will be ample. Critiques will deal
with problem solving based on the premise that there is
usually a solution, which can turn an unsuccessful painting
into a successful one. Individual assistance will be given
as needed. Come with an open mind and be ready to explore.
