Focus on Still Life and Portraiture<\/p>\n
A guided workshop: Solving Problems with Perspective, Composition, Blending and Shading \u2013 Tuesday, May 12, 9:00am \u2013 12:00pm<\/p>\n
Sunny Lee Grabert will help artists fix their problem paintings. She spent her career teaching art and coordinating leisure programs for the U.S. military around the world.<\/p>\n
She will begin with a short demo, but artists are welcome to work on their own pieces and ask for her help. It is not necessary to paint the \u201cDemo,\u201d Paint or bring whatever you choose for critique. Sunny will paint in watercolor and acrylics, but she is comfortable helping artists with oils, collage and other media after a long career.<\/p>\n
Students should bring their own supplies and at least one piece of art they need help with.<\/p>\n
At her demo at the gallery, Sunny put a sheet of clear acetate over a painting and showed the artist how painting darker colors, for example, would improve the work. She offers suggestions, but it\u2019s up to the artist to decide if the changes will work. She said the acetate lets the artist see the improvements without altering their work.<\/p>\n
