Open Studio Winter Session Begins Soon

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Get Ready For Open Studio

media_1264217681951.png

Open Studio Winter Session will begin on January 30th! Nocturne painting is a visual language that is often used within realistic treatments (such as Realism and Impressionism) to depict scenes evocative of night or subjects as they appear in a veil of light, in twilight, or in the absence of direct light. Many artists develop their own methods to create nocturnes unique to their styles. The particular method or style that an artist chooses to paint a nocturne may not be limited to realism. Nocturnal depictions have also been shown within impressionist and abstract works. Nocturnes are usually, but not always, inclusive of landscapes and cover the gamut of artistic periods, generally stretching from the southern and northern Baroque period of the early 17th century to the present. Artists often use various methods to depict nocturnes: washes of color, impasto methods, and linear treatments.

This class will experiment with the concept of nocturne painting which will include landscape, portrait and abstract. You will work with several brush categories such as Oils, Acrylics and Chalk to name a few. This class is perfect for the student whom wishes to paint from reference images or from scratch.

Join the fun in this creative and nurturing online class Open Studio and tradition for more than four years! Enroll Now

Holiday Open Studio at Digital Art Academy

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Get Ready for Holiday Open Studio at Digital Art Academy

kissing_reindeer.png

Holiday Open Studio begins on Saturday November 21st. This is your invitation to join our last class of the year at Digital Art Academy. Join us for 4 fun filled weeks of creativity. Each week you will be presented with a new and creative project. Each class includes live sessions, and video instruction to enhance the written lesson. To sign up, or learn more about Holiday Open Studio please click on the link below.

Holiday Open Studio

Week One: Patri Feher: Art Card Design Workshop

For this special workshop I will demonstrate how I design and print A7 size fold‐over note cards, envelopes, coordinated, decorated writing paper and sticky‐back vellum embellishments. Printing cards can be a challenging and frustrating process. While it’s easy and cheap to produce an “ordinary” card, especially if you aren’t terribly fussy (and neither is the recipient) about the result. Homemade looking cards are often too amateurish for a perfectionist like me, and those digital Vista print cards are too pricey to order more than a few. Press‐produced cards are expensive and you have to print more cards of the same design than you need. For the same price, or less as a cheesy photo card you can design and make the most gorgeous, luxurious card “suite” that is a gift in itself. After five years of designing and printing cards‐ hundreds of cards, on Epson and Canon desktop printers I’ve got a system to produce cards quickly and cheaply (well, relatively cheap!). Half the battle is getting your printer to give you unmarred, perfect work. The “trick” if there is one, is getting around all the quirks, so I’ve designed print setup templates for Photoshop layered files for you to download. When you are paying a buck per fine art printing paper, and nearly that for an envelope you want a minimum of throwaways! Warning: most printers don’t like envelopes and the result is often smeared with ink, but I have a few simple tips that minimize smears as long as your rollers and print head are clean. Join me as we create beautiful greeting cards using your artwork.

Week Two: Karen Bonaker- Getting Creative with the Growth Effect in Painter

Have some fun experimenting with the Growth effect in Painter. Create beautiful abstract or landscape scenes with this illusive tool. Just in time for the Holidays apply your creations to Lesson One and create beautiful custom greeting cards.

Week Three: Skip Allen

Experiment with Shapes and Text and have some fun with brushes as well as Skip takes you on a fascinating journey in Painter.

Week Four: Karen Bonaker-Painting the classic snow scenes

Join Karen as she demonstrates several ways to create that classic holiday snow scene in Painter.
