Sharing Meeting
In April we met at the Atascadero Library for a sharing session. Everyone attending participated with what they have been working on. We saw drawings in journals, paintings and class projects. We were able to use our video equipment and the library’s screen to display peoples’ works either using the camera or from images from a device.

The workshops are planned for the year. The topic is listed next to the date and there's lots of flexibility.

All workshops are 3 hours in length (1pm to 4pm) and cost is $75 including materials, with the exception of Sketchbook Freedom on 12/31/23 which is from 1:30 to 3:30 and cost is $50.

Classes are at Marie Ramey's studio: 7460 Pinal Avenue in Atascadero

May 6--Collage Transfer: Create inspirational art by delving into the many collage transfer techniques. Vicky will demo some of her favorite techniques, including some of the fussy applications. Transfers can enhance your work with wonderful depth and transparency.

June 3--Introducing Encaustics: This mini encaustic workshop provides a hands-on introduction to the basic techniques of the encaustic process -- beeswax, resin and pigment. You will be introduced to transfers, mark making, embossing, incising, embedding elements, incorporating mixed media, papers and other secrets to achieve a smooth surface.

July 22--Encaustic: Catch It While It's Hot: The prerequisite for this workshop is the introduction to encaustics and is a deeper dive with a greater emphasis on transfers and other materials. After each demonstration, participants will work at their pace and explore each of the techniques. Together, we will identify strengths, problem solve any technical issues and look for compositional clarity.

September 23--YOU decide what the topic should be.

October 28--YOU decide what the topic should be.

December 31--Sketchbook Freedom: There's magic in a sketchbook and a sketchbook could be for your eyes only. This workshop is designed for artists looking to jump-start the daily practice of sketching, or for novices looking to explore sketch booking for the first time. Tips will be provided for starting--and sticking with it as a daily practice. You'll have a treasure chest of ideas, observations, emotions and more.
