All Skill Levels. Perspective is the key to giving your paintings a convincing sense of depth. However, most approaches to perspective are intimidating and complicated. Greg makes perspective clear and easy to understand by explaining how one simple concept, the horizon line, is the basis for all linear perspective. Learn about one, two, three-point perspective, atmospheric perspective, how to properly scale figures and animals in your painting, how to draw houses and other architectural features, and how to use the eye for free hand perspective drawing. No drafting tools required. This is a combination hands-on and lecture demonstration.

The current Art Journaling movement is a perfect fit for artists who are interested in many current mediums! In this workshop, you will explore and come to understand art journaling, using both your own words and the words of others. You will prepare the pages of a purchased hardbound journal using paint, paste, mediums, collage and mixed media techniques. These techniques will be layered with informal writing and handwriting, creating intriguing and beautiful pages. Ways to “tip in” photos and other mementos will be presented, along with many other techniques. Your completed Art Journal can be a piece of art on its own or it can serve as a sketch/plan/idea book for more formal works that you may choose to create.
