Workshop with Zoya Scholis
Saturday, Feb 4th, 2023 10AM-2:30 PM led by Zoya Scholis
COURSE DECRIPTION
Frida Kahlo Calderon (July1907 to July1954) was a Mexican magical realist. Her paintings have strong and unflinching autobiographical and symbolic content. Of her 143 known paintings 55 were self-portraits, often with animals. This one-day workshop is for painters who are interested in exploring the possibilities of portraiture mixed with a healthy dose symbolism. If you don’t have the skills for accurate portraiture consider using some collage elements. We will discuss composition, color mixing and the concepts of Power Animals, Duende and Magical Realism. Please see materials list. Questions, contact Zoya at Zoya@ArtforPersonalGrowth.com

Palette Knife Painting
Sat., Mar. 4th, 2023, from 10AM to 2:30PM
7 Spaces available
COURSE DECRIPTION
Painting with a palette knife is a great way to loosen up your practice. In this workshop we will use three different approaches to your choice of subject. All require simplification and spontaneity. Palette knives, like brushes come different sizes and shapes. They can be handled intuitively and with a little practice and good examples can open up new possibilities on their own or in combination with brush work. Please see materials list.
