Sedona Arts Center — New Online Gallery and Online learning opportunities! Call to Artists!

Our gallery, while not ‘open to the public’ is open for ‘pick-up’. Works may purchased online and arrangements can be made for pick-up at your convenience. This work ‘Alert’ by Joshua Been was sold yesterday to a patron because she was ‘haunted by the memory of it’ so she had to come and get it!Browse the online gallery for sculpture, paintings, jewelry and unique items that cannot be found anywhere else because they are hand-made works by the local and member artists we represent!

Joshua Been is one of our featured artists this month and this is one of the works that we have available in our Online Gallery.

Elizabeth St. Hilaire is collaborating with the Sedona Arts Center in order to present her Fabulous Florals! workshop as scheduled (April 17-19, 2020) and as an online workshop. The experience will be comprehensive, just as if she were teaching here in Sedona. The workshop will be presented via Zoom Meetings and Chat, video conferencing with real-time messaging and content.

Elizabeth will send a detailed email in order to prepare students for the workshop.

There is a sweet spot of overlap between the traditions of abstraction and contemporary landscape painting where mark-making and the implications of planar structure combine with color and light to create a magical realm of newly discovered space.

This 3-day online painting retreat explores abstraction, color and mark through the lens of landscape painting. Abstraction is explored in a structured and intuitive way, meant to give students the tools and confidence to take risks and make informed decisions on the canvas. This workshop will explore unconventional color palettes, investigate one’s own unique mark, pay careful attention to color as value, and most importantly transform reference imagery into rich, energetic, abstract paintings.

Each morning the class will meet remotely via Zoom to engage in discussion and complete a few relevant yet experimental warm-up exercises. Each afternoon will be spent working on larger, and more involved paintings in the comfort of your home studio. Expect demonstration videos for each exercise and at least 1-hour of live painting per day by the instructor.

Despite distance, there will be ample individual attention consisting of daily 1:1 personal meetings. At the conclusion of each day, students have the option to tune into 1-hour of Q&A with the instructor, talk to their cohorts, and share painting updates.

This workshop is open to all levels. If you are a beginner, you will be given the opportunity to learn composition, color mixing, mark making and more in a welcoming environment. If you are an advanced artist, Jodie will help you create your most honest work through understanding the personal energy you bring to your art, embracing your personal mark making and how you can choose color combinations in a more intuitive way. Either way, this workshop will help you and your art advance to a new level in a judgement-free, joy-filled zone.
