Trompe l’Oeil with Kathleen McKeehen
Hansville Community Center, 6778 Buck Lake Rd NE, Hansville, WA 98340
January 11 - 12
There are still a few spots left in Kathleen McKeehen’s winter workshop at the Hansville Community Center, 20 minutes from the Kingston ferry, on January 11-12. This year we are tackling the intriguing method of composition known as Trompe l’Oeil, translated as “fool the eye.” We’ll be constructing small paintings with a few objects of your choice that fool the viewer into seeing them as real objects rather than a conventional realistic but still two-dimensional still life.
E-mail kmckeehen@centurytel.net if you’d like to get on the list!

Botanical Watercolor - Kathleen McKeehen
UW Center for Urban Horticulture, Seattle
7 Tuesday evenings, January 21-March 3, 2020, 7pm-9:30pm
Learn the basics of classical botanical watercolor painting, which will include techniques in measurement, drawing, and understanding how light reveals form, along with practice in color mixing. The application of controlled washes and dry-brush technique will contribute further, producing an image that is three-dimensional, accurate, and aesthetically appealing--the goal of botanical painting--and equally effective in painting other subjects realistically.

Workshops and Classes with Soojeong (Crystal) Shin
Black-capped Chickadees - Colored Pencil, Crystal Shin
Colored pencils workshop with Crystal Shin
Winslow Art Center in Bainbridge Island, 278 Winslow Way E, #203 & #205, Bainbridge Island, WA 98110
February 1-2, 2020
Subject: Winter berries
Colored pencils are fun, forgiving, and versatile. They are easy and approachable for beginners and make an enjoyable change and good study medium for watercolor painters. They are effective for botanical subjects, but also for their friends: butterflies, bugs, and birds. Colored pencils are the medium that Crystal learned when first exploring and playing with art, and she appreciates how they allow her to achieve saturated colors and depict fine details with control.
In this two-day workshop, Crystal will share her techniques and experiences, including building undertones and layers to achieve depth and color saturation; blending and burnishing; incising tool techniques; and approaches to different paper surfaces (e.g. smooth paper vs hot pressed watercolor paper). The class will include instruction, demonstration, and your own practice, starting with an introduction to basic information about colored pencils, tools, and materials. The class is ideal for all levels, but for those who are more experienced, she will provide individual attention and guidance.
