May 20 - 22 Palette Knife and Plein Air
 |
| Painting at Tallulah Gorge at our last trip to Parker Ranch |
May 20 - 22 No Stress Plein Air at the Parker Ranch in Clayton GA
Stay together, paint together. The Parker Ranch in Clayton Ga is a cozy gathering place. The owners, Becky and Paula have hosted my plein workshops several times and they always out do themselves to make sure everyone is comfortable.
Learn to capture the outdoor with a limited color palette and the palette knife. Working from the landscape is such a great way to improve your paintings, but it can be overwhelming when just starting out. In this class, I'll help you with tips and tricks to setting up, how to find your focus, and get started. Using a limited palette will help you with color mixing and creating harmony in your paintings. I love the energy working with a palette knife brings to my paintings. An added bonus - no cleaning your brushes!! You will learn different ways to use the knife to get your desired effect.
Classes Times
12 - 5 Friday, 10 - 5 Sat, & 10 - 3 Sunday
Cost $225 Includes daily instruction and demos in the field and one on one instruction throughout the day. Nightly social hour with wine and cheese

| The Parker Ranch |
The Parker Ranch is a laid back loge built in 1907 as an Atlanta family summer home in Clayton GA. It has 6 rooms all with private baths. Some are double occupancy - two beds - so you can share rooms if you'd like, and one cabin. Clayton is just under 2 hours from Atlanta, world away. The Lodge is about one mile from town with good restaurants and lots of charm.

Studio Tip: What do you get when you cross a paper towel roll and a saw?
I was tired of wasting paper towels in the studio or being to cheap to get a clean one, so I thought I'd try cutting a role down in the shop. By cutting the roll into three sections, I have the perfect size to clean my brushes and knives without waste! Hallelujah Why did it take me so long to come up with this??
Cheers, Dawn
