WAA August 19, 2014

Jean Ulshoefer

Many of you may have seen the obituary for Jean Ulshoefer
in the Star-News Aug 5.  Jean was a longtime, active member
in WAA.  She passed away in Wilmington surrounded by her family.
It was her wish to have a tree planted  in her honor at the Cameron Art Museum. 


She had most recently been a volunteer at the Cameron Art Museum gift shop.

If you would like to contribute to this memorial for Jean please contact
the Cameron Museum.

Course description: Values, color and composition are the dynamic elements that make our paintings stand out.  This course will emphasize these elements in the design and development of landscape paintings. In this course, we will also develop a better understanding of the various elements of nature in order to better represent them on canvas and to provide greater confidence in experimentation.  Each week the instructor will give a demonstration of the concepts and provide group and individual instruction. Students will work from their own photos.

One day Workshop on Values

Sunday, October 19, 10:00am – 1:00pm, $60 CAM members, $70 non members

To register, contact Amanda Rhodes at arhodes@cameronartmuseum.com or 910-395-5999x1008

In his workshop, we will focus and explore the concept of “values” (darks and lights) as a compositional tool and in its relationship to color.  We will analyze of master artists’ works and how they utilized values in order to create more organized, dynamic paintings. I will lead you through drawing and painting exercises, provide demonstrations and group and individual instruction to further reinforce the concepts. Students may use any painting medium. I will provide demonstrations in oil.
