Faber-Castell Watercolor Pencils and Pitt Pens
Lucy Riggs
Friday, March 4
10:00am-11:30am
$20.00
Beginner to professional. No Drawing Experience is necessary for this workshop.
Let the pure, brilliant colors of Faber Castell's Aquarelle pencils and Pitt Artist Pens inspire you to create vivid nature abstractions. In this workshop we will start by using the shapes and textures of a variety of natural objects like leaves, tree bark, and flowers to compose interesting line drawings. Water will be our "magic" medium as it releases the color in our lines and allows us to explore painterly effects using several techniques. The versatile brush tipped Pitt Pens will be like the icing and sprinkles on the cake when we use them to accent our colorful creations.
Pitt Pens by Faber-Castell are light fast and waterproof and are invaluable as a tool for all art techniques. When combined with the Faber-Castell watercolor pencils a new dimension can be added to your work.

Painting With Dry Color
Ryan Weber
Friday, March 4
11:30am - 1:00pm
$20.00
Pan Pastels are like nothing you have used before. Although they are top quality pastels, they are in a paint form and are applied with soft tools, which give you the effect of painting with dry color. Very little color is wasted and there is very little dust. There are no solvents or other liquids used and no messy cleanup. They are quick to put away. Yet the painting achieved is dynamic. If you do not like using pastels, but like to paint, you will love Pan Pastels. If you already use pastels, this is a new way to achieve dynamic results using very little color with no dust, or pastel waste. Come learn an exciting new way to paint. This is a hands-on workshop and products will be supplied for your use in the workshop. You will take your painting with you, but the supplies will be left behind.
Ryan Weber is a national demonstrator for several manufacturers of art products. He has been featured in national art supply catalogs and has illustrated children?s books. Ryan has made instructional painting videos and had his works published as examples in art books. He is very personable and entertaining
