Watercolor with MarthaThursday and Friday, May 23, 24 • 10 am to 3 pm Watercolor Inks
Martha Wallace of Avery
Dr. Phil ‘s
Bombay Inks are very intense in color and are lots fun to work with. They are
very staining and do not lift, but mingling the colored inks together on
watercolor paper is well worth the experience and the outcome is truly
rewarding. I use them along with regular watercolors and masking fluid to
create layers of similar natural elements to create depth in paintings. Come
play for this two-day and go home with a new approach to watercolor.
Watercolors: Daniel Smith watercolors, or any good
quality w/c paints. Colors are as follows: aureolin, cobalt blue, indathrone, new
gamboge, organic vermillion, quinacridone pink, quinacridone sienna,
quinacridone gold, quinacridone coral, rose of ultramarine (Martha is slowly
changing over to quinacridone purple to change out this color), ultramarine
turquoise, and ultramarine blue.
Watercolor Inks:
You can purchase a full set of Dr. Phil’s Bombay Inks or you can purchase 3-4
colors that are close together on the color wheel (analogous) example: #1}
yellow, orange, & pink or red,
#2} yellow, green, blue/green, blue, etc. Larry is in the process of bringing in the display.
Brushes: Good
synthetic brushes. Recommended sizes: 1” or 2” flat wash brush, rounds #6, #8,
#12, #3 happy strokes or #3 rigger.
Palette: John
Pike w/c palette, but any palette with a large mixing area will work.
Paper: 140 lb.
Arches cold press – 1 full sheet cut or ripped into ¼ sheets
Masking Fluid: Any
good masking fluid will do. Don’t forget to bring crummy brushes to apply
masking fluid with.
Miscellaneous
Stuff: Drawing pencils, eraser, sketch tablet, water containers, paper towels,
rags, water squirt bottle, gold or silver pen. DON’T WEAR GOOD
CLOTHES THE INKS ARE VERY STAINING! Cost of class is $80.

Capturing the Range of Light—
A Plein Air Journey
Monday and Tuesday • August 26, 27
Join plein air painter Sunny Sorensen for a
stimulating two-day plein air workshop on Tioga Pass. Learn what Edgar
Payne found so fascinating about the High Sierra. Focus will
be on capturing fleeting light with your palette. Instruction will include
demos and personal attention. We will cover composition, aerial
perspective, and keying color to value. Some experience with plein air painting
is recommended. Use any medium you are at peace with. You cannot struggle
with a new medium and chase light at the same time without some degree of
frustration.
There is camping at Saddlebag Lake (10,000'), at
Tioga Lake on Hwy 120, Lee Vining Creek near the bottom of the pass, and in
Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite NP. Yosemite requires reservations well in
advance. There is also lodging at Tioga Pass Resort (TPR) reserve well in
advance, and in Lee Vining. For those unaccustomed to high elevations, it is
recommended you arrive the day before to acclimate. If you have never
painted the High Sierra, this will be an experience you will not forget.
Workshop, which does not include travel, meals,
or lodging, costs $180.
Size is limited to 6. Sign up with Larry at Town Hall
Arts with $50 deposit.
