Spring 2011 Art Classes

Linda S. Wilmes, Instructor

Wilmes Fine Art Studio, 1151 Hancock Rd., Wentzville, MO 63385

636 639 0020, worldwings@aol.com

Beginning to Intermediate Watercolor, Mondays Jan. 10 - 31, Feb. 7 -28, March 7 - 28, April 4 - 25^th. 9 - 12 a.m. Not only learn the basics, but how and when to use various techniques, and learn to discover “why not”, and “how far can I take watercolors”. Discover the creative side, by including that extra ingredient for dynamic richness that the media has to offer.

Oil/Acrylic, Mondays, 1:30 - 4:30p.m. Jan. 10 - 31, Feb. 7 - 28, March 7 - 28, April 4 - 25^th. Your choice of media, or both. Learn the basics along with many extra bits of information to create very rich and creative paintings. Applications include all prima to transparent glazes.

Pastels. Thursday evenings, 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. Jan.6 - 27^th, Feb. 3 - 24, March 3 - 24, and March 31 - April 21^st. Discover the beauty of pastels, and the vibrant colors, whether in skins tones, or that beautiful autumn scene. Use layering, over toned surface, paint with pastels to cover the surface completely, then highlight with the softest buttery pastels.

Linda will demonstrate in all of the classes. A variety of subject matter will be used, along with many techniques. Various color schemes will be used to create vibrant and dynamic finished work. Discussions will include basic composition, value, color and temperature balance.

Classes are in four week sessions at a fee of $125.00 per session, payable at the first class in each session. The classes are on going and each class will add building blocks of information and techniques to advance your painting.

Handel's Messiah

A bit of editorial license here.  This is not related to art or SLWS, but I want to share with you this uplifting piece, that spans all religious persuasions and may give you a boost of heart during this busy time.  Enjoy Handel's Messiah in a "Flash Mob" setting.  (A flash mob is just what you will see here; an unexpected explosion of song or other actions.)  Turn up your volume.

Jessen Kirkwood Workshop to be on TV

This is a great spot!  I recognize Carol Jessen, Jane Hogg and Rosie Phillips.  If you know others in the video, please leave a comment.  I can't determine the schedule that it will air, but check out the link to see the video.

Here is the message from the photographer, Aaron Mermelstein.

Carol:

 

I shot the story of you and your class painting the Kirkwood depot in May, I think, and it's been "on the shelf" for so long we had to chop the dust off of it with a pick axe.  But it's finally online and will start to air on HEC-TV (channel 989 on Charter, 98 on U-Verse), next week.

 

I not only have to apologize for the delay (the place works at an absolutely glacial pace), but also for my photography...this was the first one of these I shot with that teeny-tiny camera and it taught me that you CAN'T hold it in your hand without it looking like the New Madrid Fault was going crazy.  It taught me to use a tripod for later stories.

 

Anyway, I think it turned out pretty well and I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks.

A message from Michael Anderson

Thank you to all members who attended the Sept meeting for their interest and very warm reception for my program on Sketch Journaling. I believe the turnout may have been the largest number of artists I have addressed at one time so far. I was really happy that several members told me they were now inspired to get out their sketchbooks and get to work. Also there was a lot interest in pens, colors, sketchbooks and the waterbrush. Artists can find more information about all these items by following the links on my website to various blogs and forums that pertain to sketching.  One of the best I can recommend is The Sketching Forum where there are links to dozens of sketch artists' sites and info about Moleskines, waterbrush, Urban Sketchers, etc. Much appreciation, Mike A
