This summer I will be teaching two one-day workshops with the Sharon Arts Center in Manchester, New Hampshire. The course descriptions are listed below.
Crazy about Color! Manchester / Jacquelyn Gleisner
This one-day workshop investigates the rich and exciting world of color. Why was Picasso so blue? How was Matisse so rosy? The class will explore how artists have used color
o set a specific mood and tone. We will also discuss basic color theory and create a work of art inspired by a specific color theme. Students will create a custom color wheel, learn how to mix color, and create several examples of different types of color schemes to use as a reference for future work. By the end of the day, students will have a complete color toolkit they can use to enhance their art.

Oil Painting 101
Manchester / Jacquelyn Gleisner
Students will explore beginning and advanced oil painting techniques such as color mixing, color value, composition, glazing, brushwork, paint application, and texture in this one-day workshop. Emphasis will be placed on proper paint handling and application processses. Students will create at least one alla prima oil painting by the end of the day. The workshop will cover all the foundational elements of the most popular painting medium so students can continue painting with oil beyond this workshop. Prerequisite: None. Limit: 15
