Sedona Arts Center — Workshops, Field Expeditions, Summer Camps, Oh My!

We’ll cover the basics of composition, value, brushwork and color relationships, experiment with color mixing and ink drawing, and finish by working with the living landscape to create sketchbook paintings that can stand on their own or serve as inspirational notes for later studio works.

At the end of the workshop, you should have begun a sketchbook of your own that you can carry virtually anywhere, which will allow you to record your travels, and your progress in this medium. Suitable for beginners and more experienced painters alike.  

Weather permitting, this class will do some sketching outdoors behind the Arts Center.

Each part of the book will be put to good and new uses as we deconstruct our books and reconstruct them into fabulous works of art. We’ll also create our own unique collage papers to be used inside our new books and explore several art-journaling jumpstarts and background techniques to get you going!  Our time will also include creating journals from upcycled materials.

Enrolled students will receive an email invitation with a link to join the Zoom meeting platform from Gretchen Lopez a day or two before the class. Be sure you have an internet connection and Zoom installed on your device before the day of the class. 

In three weekly sessions, discover ways to let the paint sing, incorporate an image naturally, navigate the mid-process “beautiful mess,” and bring your painting to fulfilled completion—without losing its life force and what makes it beautiful.

On Days 1 and 2, you’ll be guided step-by-step through a sequence of intuitive techniques that build on each other to create a painting that is authentic, dynamic, and deep. You’ll nestle your image into this abstract home. Along the way, you’ll learn about color mixing and composition to enhance your painting.

On Day 3, see your painting through the eyes of depth and flow. This key approach cuts through confusion, so you can complete your painting and bring it to life in a harmonious and soul-satisfying way.

Come spend the week playing in the “mud” with two ceramicists who love sharing their clay talents with young folks. Each student will have the opportunity to learn throwing skills on the potter’s wheel as well as create several hand-built projects. You will also learn how your clay projects will be fired and glazed.

No experience is necessary – just your willingness to come and have fun creating in clay.
