A: On the first day, Tuesday, we will meet at noon in front of the porch of the Island Inn overlooking the harbor and Manana Island. You can't miss it, this is the first thing you see when the ferry arrives on the Island. We will get acquainted, I will demonstrate and then we will spend the rest of the day painting. We will conclude with a critique at around 5. On Wednesday and Thursday, we will meet on the porch of the Trailing Yew B&B at 9am each morning. we will make our way to our painting site, there will be a painting demonstration and we will paint until noon. Break for lunch and continue to paint until 4pm. Each days painting session will conclude with a group critique. During the day, I will come around to each student and offer suggestions and answer to request for assistance. Friday will be the same schedule, however, The last ferry leaves before 5, so we will be sure and wrap up in time to make it.
Q: Is there a lot of walking?
A: There is light to moderate walking required to get to some of our painting locations, appropriate footwear is suggested. It is also recommended to pack light painting gear. On occasions, an island local will drive us to the lighthouse or other locations with all of our gear for $5 per person.
Q: What if I wanted to use Water mixable oil paints?
A: This workshop is relaxed and appropriate for Water mixable oils, pastels, acrylics, watercolor or even sketching. Instruction will include discussion of the principles of art, seeing like an artist and picture making. These lessons are applicable to any medium. I will be working and demonstrating in oil paints so you will definitely benefit the most from using oil paints yourself.
Q: What if it rains?
A: We will sing songs with the word rain in it. Painting options include working under the covered porch at the Trailing Yew or the Island Inn. The Owners of the Fish store at Fish beach will sometimes put up a tarp that we are welcome to paint under. This can also be a great opportunity to paint indoors at the Trailing Yew and explore my technique of using your outdoor paintings to make an indoor studio painting using layering and glazing.
