Joyful Wildflowers
Sunday, May 25, 2008
8:30am to1:00pm
Homestead Preserve Dairy Barn
All levels welcome
Limited Enrollment (10)
Fee: $100 per student
Carol Maguire has a BA in Art History and has furthered her studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Sorbonne, the Barnes Foundation, and the Fleisher Art Memorial. Her passion results in painterly works saturated with color and joie de vivre. Inspired by a love for color, china, textiles, and gardening, her work focuses on objects that surround her daily life–family treasures, gifts from friends, and garage sale finds are all in combination with nature’s glorious fruits and flowers.
The workshop will begin at 9:00 am with a demonstration. Carol will do a tonal study, then the students will do their own tonal studies. After an hour, Carol will do a second demo: setting up her palette with colors, mixing colors, and showing the students how to lay the paint down onto the canvas or panel. If time permits, there will be a quick group critique at the end. Please join us at 8:30 am for coffee and scones!

Limited Enrollment (20)
Henry Isaacs, plein air painter extraordinaire, travels across the country painting the landscape. He translates his love of nature, with an inspiring energy and passion onto his canvases. He has painted the far reaches of the Allegheny Mountains and the Warm Springs Valley, hiking through meadows and along rivers into Virginia’s backcountry.
Isaacs received degrees in painting and printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design and the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London. He has taught art in Britain, Italy, and the U.S., and maintains a home and studio in Vermont.
Henry Isaacs workshops nurture individual success and personal enrichment with an emphasis on personal painting projects. He will share his knowledge and techniques with a “hands-on” approach which includes demonstrations, individual instruction and mentoring, group discussions and critiques. He will encourage participants to directly engage with nature, experiment, and above all, enjoy the painting process.
A highly energized painting workshop emphasizing loose and creative experimentation. Designed for the professional painter as well as for the novice, Henry’s positive approach towards the act of painting will inspire you to loosen up, have fun and paint! Expect a lively workshop where you will create many works of art using spontaneity for maximum effect. All instruction will take place en plein air.
