"Creative Recovery" with Sally June 15th to19th 400$
Are you ready to get back to yourself and your art? Call/text me if you want 617-388 -2330 to chat!
I haven't always had time to pursue my art. I have given much of my time to the schools. I have given much of my time to my family! But I'm retired now and running CMAW. I am thrilled to be offering a class this summer!
This class is for anyone who wants to learn more about plein air painting. Any medium and experience level will be welcome.
I have noticed that often students come to workshops and they haven't painted in a long time. The teachers have so much to offer! You want to be in a place that you are ready for what they are teaching.
We will look at what makes a great composition, explore color, and work on improving our drawing skills. Developing your voice and think about a fresh approach! These are all foundational for landscape. We will look closely at the art of many of the famous Maine artist like the Wyeth's...etc...

Pastel: from Plein Air to Studio Sept 1 to 4th 690$
Choosing pastel as her medium, Lyn Asselta creates vivid, thoughtful images of places that tug at her heart. These images are often purposefully meant to make her viewers feel as though they have stumbled upon a place of quiet strength and solitude. She chooses to create a narrative in her images, but welcomes and encourages you to create your own.

Aline Ordman"Finding the Hero" Pastel/oil Sept.8 to 12- 790$
Aline's advice to "Find the Hero" stayed with me. Simplfying and identifying the focal point! Plucky and fun she teaches with enthusiasm and purpose. I loved hanging out with her!
“My goal as an artist is to find those times and places where beauty is not only evident, but startling and suddenly present.”
