Elderhostel – Peggy Grinvalsky
June
15 21, 2008 and Sept 14 – 20, 2008
Sketching with Relaxed Strength and Vitality
Returning
for the 6th year
In 2008, Peggy will be teaching two classes with the same structure,
but the September 14 – 20 class will emphasize the autumn foliage.
Experience
the beautiful Northwoods environment and translate it into lively, energetic
sketches. Understand the concept of the 'felt sight' (the 'thing' the
vacation snapshot always seems to miss) and learn to react to what you
see and experience with relaxed ease, capturing all the strength and
vitality of the moment in dynamic sketches. This class will show how
to use mixed-media to quickly record the stunning Northwoods moments
with the easiest use of a combination of materials. Learn to intermix
pencil, watercolor and color pencil, pen, pastel... find what you personally
are comfortable with and how to manage the materials for an enjoyable
day out sketching in nature. Your work may be representational, experimental
or impressionistic, all levels are welcome. There will be both studio
instruction and on location sketching, as weather permits.
With 26 years of teaching experience, Peggy has been a studio artist for 39 years. Her work is in private collections throughout the Americas and Europe. She is a published children's book illustrator and a highly respected nationally known muralist.
There will be a pontoon ride and full use of
the resort amenities also.
Studio: Something for all levels.
