Class Syllabus Materials    

Visit Brenda's Mixed Media Blog

Let your creative soul come out to play. This class offers creative inspiration for artists and aspiring artists of all skill levels. If you want the biggest boost for your art, take Painting on Wednesday and Mixed Media on Thursday. Liberate and expand the boundaries of your art by exploring the range of media available for painting and drawing. Approach the relationship between drawing and painting dynamically and experiment with a variety of techniques and materials. Students may choose to work in wet or dry media such as charcoal, graphite, colored pencil, ink, watercolor, acrylic, gouache, pastel, collage and found objects. While subject matter is suggested, students may chose to work on projects that they conceive independently.

Learn how to stretch canvas and prepare wood panels for painting at Brenda s in Boulder Creek. Bring your stretcher bars and canvas or wood panels (and a can of gesso if supports are unprimed).
This workshop will be at Brenda's in Boulder Creek. Pre-registered participants (required) will be emailed a map and directions to
Brenda's prior to workshop. Email Brenda for more information: bberg007@comcast.net

Note: Students registered for Brenda's "Think Big and Loosen Up!" workshop by June 1st are invited to join Brenda s June 24th
"Preparing Supports for Painting" workshop at no additional cost.

 

The class offers students two sessions in the Santa Cruz Mountains and two sessions in other locations. Students will have the opportunity to experience the exhilaration that comes from painting directly from nature. Working from nature in a constantly changing light source can be challenging but it s the spectacular colors, textures, scenes, sounds and smells of the living landscape that the outdoor painter finds engaging. The class is open to all students wanting to learn more about plein air oil or acrylic painting. See syllabus for details.
First session meets at the Art Center. After that locations will be announced.

A fun-filled day of painting in the land of big canvases! In this stimulating hands-on workshop you will learn how to work Alla Prima (all at once) and the various techniques used to create a fresh, spontaneous response to your subject matter. After an initial demonstration, students will work on their own by applying paint in large tonal patches and refining/adding details as they move along. This workshop will be particularly helpful to students who wish to paint more loosely, use palette/brush strokes economically and take advantage of the inherent beauty of work that looks more spontaneous and loose.
 

Note: Students (18 and older) registered for "Think Big and Loosen Up!" by June 1st are invited to register for Brenda's June 20th "Preparing Supports for Painting" workshop for free.

Attention Soda-Firing enthusiasts! 

We're cranking up the heat in our magnificent soda-kiln. 

After an amazing demonstration by soda-firing expert Ruthanne Tudball, spirits and motivation are through the roof.  The art center will be hosting a minimum of five firings during the year, and our kiln is approximately 10 cubic feet so space will be limited to 6 people. 

There will be a class dedicated to preparation for the firing and glazing techniques over a week prior to the firing.  Our local soda-firing expert Paula Prekowitz has volunteered her time and wealth of knowledge to the cause. 

Ceramic-addict Travis Adams will be leading the class and facilitating the firings.  Register on-line to reserve your space.

Loading of bisque/glazed ware:

Bring a bunch of ware ready to fire. This kiln load is limited to 6 participants, and work is loaded on a rotational basis.  Small pieces are most welcome as we can fill up all the nooks and crannies, going for a well-packed kiln.

The kiln is candled overnight and firing ramp-up commences at 6 a.m. and is usually complete by 9 p.m.  You are welcome to come and participate at any time - it's most exciting when the soda is added and the kiln is in reduction.  The kiln is usually allowed to cool for at least 1 full day.
