October 27 

   Hugh Mossman is a long-term resident of Idaho. He is a watercolor artist who has won many awards and been accepted into many national and international watercolor exhibitions. He paints Idaho scenic landscapes, fly fishing subjects and street scenes particularly from San Miguel Allende, Mexico.

   He states, "My objective in painting is to capture the essence of a subject with a style that is loose and expressive." In the workshop, artists will be painting from their own photos (unless you prefer to use his image).

November 17

Nina Borisovich Sloan will show how she uses palette knives in impressionistic oil painting to create mosaic-like texture. Nina says, "Also, we will touch on some basic principles that help to avoid common mistakes in painting that can be applied to any  media."

 

Although Nina will be painting in oils, it is possible to paint acrylic with a palette knife. Nina is open to people using any media at this workshop. Artists can paint along or bring their own references.
