Speed Landscape Drawing and Painting

Speed Landscape Drawing and Painting

Saturday 29 March
Shelby Farms - 10am - 1 Hours
Kevin Leonard
The focus of this two-hour structured session is "speed" and "form", i.e. capturing the essence of a subject. You will be guided to complete some "warm-up" colour and drawing exercises and prepared for doing ink and watercolour-based painting in the session. You will learn how to quickly sketch and capture multiple subjects in the garden with ink and wash technique. You will be advised to keep things rather loose and time your drawing/painting. You will have a chance to meet and greet like-minded people, choose your own subjects in the garden and be guided to complete the exercises, and artwork and have some takeaway homework with the learned technique. All levels and experiences are welcome.

Note:
- Please bring a portable chair for comfort during the session.
- A clipboard is recommended to provide a sturdy surface for your papers.

Photographing Reflections

Saturday 22 March
Shelby Farms Park - 10am - 2 Hours
Memphis Photography Club
D'Angelo Connell
We will be using natural water reflections and seeking out man-made reflective surfaces in the area to explore how we can use reflections to add depth and intrigue to our images. Reflections can help us to show our subject from an unusual, or from multiple, points of view. We can use reflections to abstract our subject or to make perfect mirror images. We'll even have a look at how we can create our own reflections when there are none around.

Title or Location: Mahogany Warrior Goddess
If you are a woman, the father of a girl or woman.... This painting means so much because it encompass resilience, strength, nurturing and the courage to be a woman with passion. That moves with purpose and having love of self. In a world where women are considered less than, hated and downgraded. I honor mother's ( single or married) daughter's, etc. For the important role we have in society, and the challenges of being a female that we experience that makes it difficult to be soft, nurturing,

Title or Location: "Snickers"
My best friend has 2 daughters "on the spectrum". The older daughter absolutely loves this horse. So, for a special Christmas present, my friend sent me some photos of Snickers, the horse, so that I could create an acrylic painting for her. Snickers is currently part of an occupational therapy program in North Carolina for children with disabilities. This is my creation.

This photo was published on a free animal images for artists website and I fell in love with the playfulness and simplicity of the photo. It was fun to paint and I am hoping to do a similar painting of a harvest mouse soon.

Title or Location: Vintage Teddy Bear
Love this new style of painting I?m doing where I?m only painting what?s in the light. It goes back to the Dutch Masters who highlighted light in their paintings and allowed for huge areas of shadow.
