There will be individual as well as group instruction in "seeing" what you are looking at; line, positive and negative space, light and shadow, edges, and values. Work will be done in pencil and may progress to other media. Basic shapes will be mastered as well as still life setup's.<blockquote>Tuesdays 6:30-8:30 PM<br>Instructor: Janette Dickerson<br>8-week Session: September 13-November 1<br>Cost: $140</blockquote></li> <li><strong>Watercolor Simplified:</strong> Although believed to be a difficult medium, watercolors' unique working characteristics and unique working process are easily learned. Whether you are a beginner watercolor painter, or have worked with watercolor for some time, this class is for you. Over the course of eight weeks, the mysteries will be unlocked as the class covers the five fundamental elements of successful watercolor painting: the "secret" to create glowing, transparent washes, effective color mixing, tonal value and the color/value realtionships; how to plan your painting; and basic composition. These skills can be learned and mastered. At the end of the eight week, each participant will have the knowledge needed to create beautiful watercolor paintings.<blockquote>Wednesdays 1:00-3:00 PM<br>Instructor: Janette Dickerson<br>8-week Session: September 7-October 26<br> Cost: $140</blockquote></li></ul> <p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><font face="arial">&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20%" valign="top"><font face="arial"><h2>March 2010</h2></font></td> <td width="80%" valign="top"><font size="4" face="Arial, Verdana, Times, serif"><strong>Dallas Area Reception!</strong> - Janette will have paintings showing during the months of March and April at <strong>55 Degrees Wine Bar &amp; Bistro</strong> in Plano, TX.
