From the beginning to the experienced student, this one-day class in oil or acrylic will guide and teach students how to approach the painting process with confidence, while exploring the basics of value-pattern, composition and color. Students may work from life and/or photos. Instructor demonstrations and lots of individual attention provided. Students should take a drawing class prior to attempting painting.

In this 1-day workshop you will learn how to shoot, edit and share remarkable landscapes, portraits and the macro world around you using only your iPhone or iPad. Kelli will guide you through simple tips and tricks that will take your photography to the next level. Discover how to capture the essence of a place and your subjects rather than just taking a picture. You will also learn basic video and video editing techniques for use with certain apps such as Facebook and Instagram.

Join artist and Gamblin Color Expert, Anna Fox Ryan for an afternoon of plein air painting on the Sedona Arts Center Campus. Participants will each receive 2 Ampersand panels, and unlimited Gamblin paints. We will explore two different variations of a ‘landscape limited palette’.  Artists will start with a simplecompositional sketch of a landscape then see how two different palettes create different moods and color options. A chance to take a risk and have fun.

Artists should bring palette knives, brushes, and plein air easels if they have them.

This will be a stand-alone demonstration as well as a culmination of the workshop for those that attended.
