About the event

Art Sampler Workshops
Unleash your creativity as you explore a variety of art techniques and materials! Each session focuses on a different medium—like drawing, watercolor, pastel, or oil—giving you the chance to experiment and express yourself through unique projects. No experience needed—just bring your curiosity! All materials are provided, so come ready to learn, play, and get inspired.

August 6th - Exploration of Drawing We’ll do several different drawings, using graphite, charcoal, or ink to draw what we see on the tabletop. Then we’ll experiment with drawing the light with white chalk on dark paper. Van Gogh used the twigs from a grapevine and dipped them in ink to create very expressive marks. Let’s try it!

August 13th - World of Watercolor In Western art, the tradition has been to start with a fine pencil outline and fill in the shapes with watercolor. In Eastern art, the tradition has been to create each shape (each petal, each leaf) with one stroke of a bamboo brush. Let’s try both! We’ll alternate painting on our drawings and drawing on our paintings with pen and ink.

August 20th - Pastel and Oil Pastel We’ll experiment with two very different types of pastel. First, we’ll use the soft chalky artist pastels to draw on colored paper. Then, on white paper, we’ll work with oil pastels and paint thinner. We’ll explore the solubility of the pastels and the resulting paint-like quality of the medium.

August 27th - Water Soluble Oil Paint This paint is similar to traditional oil paints in terms of drying time and consistency. However, this specially formulated oil paint can be thinned with water, and paintbrushes can be easily cleaned with water during painting. As a result, colors tend to stay bright and clean. A specially modified linseed oil will be our medium. It’s fun to explore the possibilities of working with thick brushstrokes on top of a thin underpainting!
