Employee Art Show . . . we have talent amongst our staff!

It's all about art this month, Employee Art Show, Winter Back to School Sale and a wonderful Watercolor Sketchbook workshop! Plus we still have room in our acrylics class starting this Saturday.

Employee Art Show!
. . . we have a talented staff!



Our 3rd Annual Employee Art Show is up in our Gallery Space. Everything from oils, acrylics and watercolor to collage and photography. We have a very talented staff and this is the time to show them off. Plus most of their work is for sale and 100% of the proceeds go directly to the artist. We'll be posting the works on facebook (another reason to become our facebook friend).

Plus join us this Friday night, January 14, from 5-7pm for our opening gathering. Meet the artists, enjoy some refreshments and peruse the great price points for some fantastic original art!

Watercolor Sketchbook Workshop
. . . with Ron Stocke, Saturday, January 22 11am-1pm
Ron Stocke says "Keeping a sketchbook improves my paintings and has become the most valuable artistic tool I have".


This workshop/demo is for anyone interested in watercolor, sketching or keeping an artist journal. Ron will show you how to capture beautiful vignettes of your travels, experiences, and how he uses his sketchbook to develop interesting compositions and workout problems for future artwork. Ron will go through thumbnails, color studies, value studies and more using artist pens, graphite and watercolor. Keeping a sketchbook will improve anyone's artwork and is a valuable tool that can be used every day. This class should help students simplify their drawing skills.

Fee: $20, registration required. There is a small supply list and please bring a photo for reference. Ron uses the Aquabee Deluxe 808 sketchbook. Each attendee will get an 808 Sketchbook to work in an take home.
