Workshops and Seminars
SCAHMS is proud to have had some of the world’s most talented artists as presenters at past shows. Once again this year, we are pleased to offer a workshop in the basics of painting “flats” guided by award winning painter Penny Meyer. Class size is limited so contact Lars Liljeblad at (949) 829-0742 or by e-mail at [email protected].
The flat painting workshop on Friday March 18, 4-6pm at the SCAHMS California Show. We will be talking about glazing over the gray scale under painting as well as aspects of color theory.
Please bring your paints, a flat or regular figure that has been in progress, brushes, etc. A little lamp is also a good tool, we will have power strips and cords.
If you do not have a flat, I will have a printout of a gray scale painted flat and you can participate by painting on the printout.
The cost of the workshop is $20.00. If we are having fun and want to stay later than 6pm, we can do that.
You can pre-register for the workshop by contacting Jim Hill or Lars Liljeblad (there info is at the bottom of this column) to insure you a spot, or register at the registration table at the show. if there is space available.
Our seminar on Saturday will be presented by internationally recognized modeler and artist, Anders Heintz. Anders will be giving a talk about sculpting figures at 11am.
SCAHMS will be holding an event new to their California Show this year - "the Procrastinators' Project." We will have tables set up outside for participants to try finishing that last-minute project in time for next day's judging. The event will begin at 3:00 pm on Friday, March 18 and will continue until 12:00 pm the next day.
The requirements are:
1. bring all your own materials: paints, brushes, figure(s), lamp(s), etc. What will be of particular need are power strips and extension cords.
2. be willing to answer questions and accept comments from spectators.
3. have a great time painting with others.
There is no pre-registration for this event since table space will be available on a first-come first-serve basis. However, if we see the need for more tables, I've been told that more can be brought out.
This is the first time we've held such an event at this show, so any constructive feedback is more than welcome. This is a trial run for this event, so there will be no special award. However, if this event proves to be successful, then there may be one or more in the future.
If you have any questions, please post them here or contact me via email: captnpete at cox dot net.
