Lazy Days of Summer
Art and Wine Workshops
given by LeAnne Iverson
Hey guys, I’m looking for a small group of 8 to 12 women interested in getting together once a week in July and Aug. to get creative and learn some new art/craft skills. The workshops would run with instruction for two hours and then I’m hoping that everyone would stay longer and continue to create, talk, eat and have another glass of wine. ( Kind of like a modern day quilting B.) Im setting up the ideal creative enviroment in my moms back outdoor area where we will be shaded and blocked from wind and still see the sunset over the ocean off in the distance. There will be music playing and you can bring your own wine or favorite drink. If I get the workshop filled then I will also serve edible delictables. The workshop will meet for four classes…one each week. You could sign up for all or just one. I plan on making this the place to be if you need the excuse for some personal expression time or girly time. The techniques we will be learning can be for the novice artist or the experienced crafter so no need for any stress. Hopefully it will light your creative fire and the memories of Summer 2010 will be set in Art.
Digital Art Photoshop Workshops
I’ve had many people ask me to put together a Photoshop Workshop as well. You will have to have your own laptop for this. I will have the program available for use if you don’t already have it. This is the kind of program where you really do need someone to hold your hand and once you’ve got the basics then sky’s the limit.
At the end of the workshops you will be able to create a digitally painted artwork, professionally “correct” a Self- Portrait, make a Digital Collage and open your own Blog. We will explore:
Digital cameras
Scanner art
Print settings and paper options
Blogs and Vlogs
Flicker online Albums
Windows Movie Maker/Imovie
Youtube Channel subscriptions
Mixed Media Art Workshops
In this series I will introduce many new art materials to play with and show you how to mix then to create great backgrounds, textures and visual candies in the world of Mixed Media Art. We will work through weekly challenges and explore new ideas in how paint, pencil, ink, paper and fabric relate to each other. Over the four weeks we will be creating An Art Journal, Artist Trading Cards, a Funky Self Portrait and a Memory Box. We will do this by exploring:
Ink Sprays
Sparkling H2o”s
Water Soluable Oil Pastels
Chaulks/ eye makeup
Gel Image Transfering
Citrasolv and National Geographics
Bubble wrap, Beeswax and molding paste texturing techniques
Embossing, scrapping and gold leafing
Smoke, shoe polish and candy wrappers for Art
Acrylic and Alcohol
Time: Once a week through Summer
4 Photoshop Workshops that will start the beginning of July.
4 Mixed Media Art Workshops will be start in the beginning of August. The day and time of day still needs to be determined.
Cost: The cost is 25$ per two hour workshop with an option to hang out longer if the juices are truly flowing. I suggest taking all four classes because there will be a certain amount of knowledge that we will continue to build from.
Where? In an outdoor room overlooking the oak trees and gardens of my Moms house in Santa Barbara San Antonio
Who will be our fearless leader? LeAnne Iverson who is coming to Santa Barbara New York
Supplies: I will providing most of the supplies but if you plan on extending this experience into your daily life then I will create a variety of supply lists that you may not be able to live without.
