JANUARY 2026
January - 16 -Roy Gover - perspective
Perspective for Artists:
From Pictures - Find the Horizon
Studio art - Create your Vanishing point
Plein Air - Eye Level
A quick class on the basics and the application
of perspective in art. From your pictures to outside
painting and sketching.
Bring 2 pictures with perspective challenges to
use as a reference. Roy will assist you to see the
challenge. Whether you work on your painting in pencil, oils, watercolors, or
acrylics the class will help to create a basic solution.
February 27 - Joyce Green - Color and Movement in Wild Water (watercolor)
Participants will need to bring their own reference photo. Do not bring a picture of something already done by another artist. This needs to be a photo that shows action and movement in the water (not a quiet mountain stream) because Joyce will teach how to show the excitement of the movement and color in the water. This is a great opportunity to learn from a lady who has built a respected reputation of excellence from her many years of painting water scenes.
If you do do not have a personal photo of wild water, the Guild has a supply of photo references - ask Don Nafus to direct you to them.
March 20 - Mark Davis - Landscapes (composition, followed by a paint along)
Mark is an avid painter of landscapes en plein air and has received much praise for his work in that area. He paints primarily in oils but also some in acrylic. In our workshop, in the morning, he will be doing a presentation on composition, followed by a paint-along in the afternoon. He will be painting in oils but you could use acrylics if you prefer.
This workshop will be held from 10 am to 3pm. For this workshop only, please register through Judy Stanfill, 208-899-0695 or judystanfill@ymail.com or see her at a Guild meeting.
