Day 1 – discussion of your goals, basic tools and painting set-up; Teri will demo a painting, and then guide you in basic ways to use the medium. We will practice many techniques before you will create your own from instructor supplied images.

Day 2 – discussion of first day’s learning, questions welcomed. Teri will demo another painting, and then we will delve into time for more of your creations. If time and weather allow, we could even step outside for our hands at plein air painting. The weekend will end with follow-up, sharing, constructive critique and any questions….and at least 2 of your fine new paintings!!

MATERIALS TO BRING:

Students will provide their own materials. A supply list will be sent out prior to the workshop.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Teri has followed her artistic passion since childhood. A graphic design career and raising a family created a different type of sabbatical from fine art, but since turning 50, she has been able to concentrate on honing her skills for her landscapes, portraits and more, created mostly with soft pastels and oils. She has won numerous awards in local and regional competitions, been juried into some national shows, and has a commissioned oil painting in the permanent collection of the Holocaust Museum at the Shrine of Maximillian Kolbe in Libertyville IL. She has taught hundreds of students since 2008 at her former Waterville studio and other venues, including weekend workshops in Michigan.
