Telling a Story with Collage - Artist Susan Lehman
"After the Fall" by Susan Lehman
By using bits and scraps of ephemera, translucent layering techniques as well as a few image transferring methods we can reveal a hidden "story". Collage is an exciting medium with endless possibilities for creativity. We will explore different background papers and support boards, using a variety of collage materials to create our stories!
This workshop is suitable for artists just starting in collage or ones who are already familiar with basic techniques and want to explore a different approach.

Dale Kurtz - WATERCOLOR LANDSCAPE TECHNIQUES TWO
(Skies, Water, Rocks, and Mountains)
Skies and water are both fluid and ever changing. Watercolor is a good way to depict them. The first day Dale will take students through a series of exercises in several methods to paint skies and water. The second day the class will use the rock techniques to paint a Cascade volcano scene. The scene will have a sky of thunderheads with water in the foreground.
