Paint with Phyllis Vandehaar

Come and paint with Phyllis on Saturday, May 28.  All attendees must be vaccinated.
This workshop will be one where you will be asked to stretch your imagination and have some fun combining some art materials. You will be given 3 sheets of paper: 9” x 12” white, gray, and black, all of which will have been sprayed with “webbing.” I will prepare the sheets for you, thus saving you time (and, I might add, frustration in spraying the webbing) No charge! You will create three different pieces in the 4-hours.
​You will create 3 different themed art pieces atop the webbing patterns:

  1. White Paper: A non-objective design, using watercolor (this will be done rather quickly- @ 20 minutes.
  2. Gray Paper: A theme of some kind, using pastels . . . landscape, flowers, animals, etc. etc.
  3. Black Paper: A theme of some kind, using torn paper pieces from magazines, etc.. where you create a composition, either realistic of abstract.
I will have examples for you which will help guide you in your decision-making of subject matter and use of the materials. If we keep the pieces somewhat small, we can accomplish a lot within the timeframe of the class; however, we must remain “on task.”
