CELEBRATING THE ARTS
Offered for the first-time ever, join artist Pauly Tamez for a three-hour immersive workshop, “Radiant Horizon: Capturing Light Over Water,” from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 11.
Explore the drama of sky and sea in the class at The Classroom at The AgriCultural Museum and Arts Center, 102 City Park Road, Boerne. Refer to and register today at www. hccarts.org. For details, 210-269-8349.
From the first brushstroke to the final signature, you will learn how to capture the drama of sky and sea in oil. This session is designed for artists of all levels, whether you are discovering oils for the first time or refining your technique.
Tamez divides the class into four sessions:
• 10-10:30 a.m.: Color foundations. Explore warm and cool contrasts, mixing sunset hues and ocean tones.
• 10:30-11:30 a.m.: Sky composition. Build expressive clouds and radiant light using blending and glazing.
• 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.: Water reflections. Create shimmering reflections and subtle wave textures with palette-knife accents.
• 12:30 to 1 p.m.: Finishing touches. Refine edges, balance color harmony and sign your completed seascape.
What you will learn: • Atmospheric perspective to give depth to your horizon.
• Layering techniques for luminous skies and water.
• Brush and knife control to achieve expressive texture.
• Color storytelling: how light and hue evoke serenity and movement.
Materials are provided with payment of class fee; class size limited. You will leave with a finished 16-by-20-inch oil painting ready to frame, and the confidence to recreate the sea’s ever-changing beauty.
Participants will learn to layer color, build atmosphere and express movement through confident brushwork. From the first wash to the final glow, you will create your own luminous seascape that celebrates the power of light and reflection.
Art AfterHours: Discharge Dyeing
For those of you who love working with fabric, take a look at the upcoming “Discharge Dyeing” applied arts class, set for 7-9 p.m. June 30, with Art After-Hours artist/teacher Kelly Leith, in The Classroom at The AgriCultural Museum, 102 City Park Road.
In this intriguing class, we will pull the dye from colored fabric. Through the chemical reaction process, we will create patterns and imagery, removing and replacing color. Learn how dye colors are made by reversing the procedure.
Explore a variety of tools such as stamps, stencils, and brushes to remove color and add color back with permanent textile paints. All materials provided, class size limited. Refer to and register today at www. hccarts.org. For details, call Paula at 210-269-8349.
