Animal Portraits

& Colored Pencil Techniques

sanctuaryarts

Botanical Artist Carol Ann Morley has been teaching drawing at Sanctuary Arts for many years and is treasured for her ability to teach drawing fundamentals and Botanical illustration in graphite and colored pencil. She's an amazing instructor and we are so lucky to have her. This summer she offers Animal Portraits (SA 7) for 4 weeks and Colored Pencil Techniques (SA 6), on Saturday June 3rd. I highly recommend her classes for anyone who wants to learn how to draw.

Three Foundry

Classes

Lauren Dow offers her specialty- Bronze Casting/Burnout Workshop (SA 18), focussing on using organic matter to create unique bronze castings. You may have seen her beautiful castings at the Sunapee Fair and at local craft fairs. If you've been saving a critter in your freezer or have a favorite fruit or vegetable you want to cast in bronze, this is your chance!

Josh Dow offers his ever-popular Beginner Bladesmithing (SA 16) as well as a new endeavor, Cast Iron Planter (SA 17). This 2 day workshop is designed for individuals or families to come carve a trapezoidal bowl in sand, giving it legs, flowers, faces and more. Molten metal is then poured into it, creating your own cast iron vessel to take home with you.

Drawing Happy Trees & Portrait Painting in the Manner of Rembrandt with

Joshua Langstaff

Joshua Langstaff offers a weekend workshop- Drawing Happy Trees (SA 4). Come channel your best Bob Ross mixed with Frederich Church, Asher Durand, and Ivan Shishkin by doing drawings of trees in the landscape. Joshua, a master of both drawing and figurative oil painting, studied traditional painting techniques with Juliette Aristides in her acclaimed Classical Atelier in Seattle. Currently he helps her teach an online Classical Drawing and Painting Intensive. We are lucky to have such an accomplished artist teaching here, and I, for one am taking full advantage of his expertise in his Portrait Painting in the Manner of Rembrandt (SA 8) seven week class.
