SUMMARY:Make a Yeti: A Winterfest Kids' Make n' Take
DESCRIPTION:Need a moment to warm up during Winterfest? Bring your kids over to our studio\, (between The Yellow House and Goodwill)\, between 12 & 3pm for a fun and easy make n’ take Yeti! Our Yeti is holding a heart\, perhaps to give to his valentine.  Our art instructor\, Sara\, will be there to provide assistance and show the kids how to rub white chalk over crumpled paper for an interesting texture effect. Once they have created their furry texture\, children will tear their paper along guidelines to create the shapes of their yeti. Pairs of teeth and horns cut out of white paper give this guy his “monster vibe.”  But this monster is not vicious\, he has lots of love to give! Various valentine paper will be available to personalize their yeti’s heart\, along with some heart punches to add more love to their picture. Those who like to draw can use white\, pink\, purple and blue chalk to add a wintery background for their yeti to live in.  $5 per project. Kids under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.  Availability is limited to space and materials. 12-3pm on Saturday the 7th. \nNo pre-registration required \nNo Reservations

SUMMARY:Watercolor Workshop: Beginner's Guide to Brushstrokes
DESCRIPTION:**Postponed! Sara has a grand baby on the way that may interrupt this class! This class will be rescheduled.  Exciting times! \nIn this watercolor workshop\, Sara will be teaching various brushstroke techniques most often used in loose watercolor painting.  This workshop has a required materials list-be sure to check that out at the bottom of this page!  We will be practicing our brushstrokes with Sara’s Highlander Cow in watercolor- as seen in a previous class- as well as a simple landscape.  This class is appropriate for beginners and anyone who wants to refine their skills. Be sure to bring your favorite beverages and treats!  Coffee\, tea and other hot beverages will be available.  This class is limited to 6 painters.  This is to ensure you get the most out of this workshop. Ages 16+ please! \n$60-see Ticket Policy Below. (Note earlier sign-up deadline) \nMeet your instructor:  Sara Porter \nSara is a local artist who grew up in the Brainerd Lakes Area. She has a Studio Art Degree from Northwestern University\, Roseville\, MN with an emphasis in oil painting. Currently\, besides teaching at Kicks since 2018\, she teaches elementary and high school art classes to home school co-op groups. Her class sizes have varied from 4 to 28 students\, K-12.  While she enjoys teaching\, she seeks time out to paint in the studio or outdoors. Sara struggles to isolate a single medium as a favorite. She finds enjoyment in the freedom to grab whatever medium suits her mood. This results in a variety of classes for Kicks!  In addition to teaching\,  Sara shows original works for sale on her gallery wall at Kicks and offers pet portraits in paint or dry media\, such as colored pencil and soft pastels. You can find her on Facebook and Instagram under ArtistSaraPorter. \nMaterials List: \nBefore you begin your search: Quality over Quantity is key. However\, the price range on paint brushes varies dramatically from a few dollars to nearly $100 or more.  It isn’t necessary to spend a fortune\, but you will experience the best results possible in this class with artist-quality materials. I (Sara) will be demonstrating in brushes made of synthetic sable or similar.  A brush in synthetic squirrel or Gold Taklon will behave differently. Try to find synthetic sable or a comparable version such as Princeton’s Velvetouch series.   I recommended tubes or pans in Winsor & Newton or a close alternative: Grumbacher Academy.  You can purchase the colors individually or in a set. Michaels has sales periodically.  The most important material you will bring is the PAPER.  The brand most widely used by artists and required by art schools is the Arches series. The minimum criteria: 100% cotton\, cold-pressed\, 140 pound\, and acid-free. \nHigh quality synthetic sable brushes such as Princeton’s Aqua Elite and Heritage lines are recommended for lower cost without sacrificing longevity and quality. Look for Princeton’s Velvetouch series or Winsor Newton & Cotman for a close\, budget-friendly alternative. \n\n2-3 Pointed Rounds such as this Princeton Aqua Elite in  #4 and #8 and  #12: (at least one larger and one smaller)  https://www.michaels.com/product/princeton-aqua-elite-synthetic-round-watercolor-brush-10553033 or Winsor Newton Cotman: https://www.michaels.com/product/winsor-newton-cotman-round-brush-10368012\nFlat brush such as Princeton Aqua Elite in 1/2″ or 3/4″: https://www.michaels.com/product/princeton-aqua-elite-synthetic-stroke-watercolor-brush-10553039 or the 1/2″ velvetouch version: https://www.michaels.com/product/princeton-velvetouch-series-3950-wash-brush-10658646\nScript Liner brush or small pointed round as this #1 Princeton Aqua Elite: https://www.michaels.com/product/princeton-aqua-elite-synthetic-liner-watercolor-brush-10553024   Or a small pointed round such as this #1 in velvetouch: https://www.michaels.com/product/princeton-velvetouch-series-3950-round-brush-10658641\n\nWatercolor Paint Tubes:  Winsor & Newton is a great brand. This is a great starter set\, however not all these colors are mandatory: https://www.michaels.com/product/winsor-newton-cotman-water-colours-10-color-paint-set-10636594?michaelsStore=5507&inv=3\   Try to bring at least these colors: Lemon Yellow\, Burnt Sienna\, Ultramarine Blue\, Cadmium Red Deep\, Permanent Rose (or Quinacridone Magenta or Rose) Hookers Green \nOPTIONAL:  Add- on colors not included in the above set:  Payne’s Grey\, Prussian Blue\, Alizarin Crimson\, Yellow Ochre\, Pthalo Blue \nPaper:  For the purposes of this class\, Strathmore’s 500 series is recommended over other student-grade paper. Their 400 series is available at Michaels\, but you don’t want to go lower in quality than that.  Regardless\, it’s a good idea to buy a large sheet of Arches paper (22″ x 30″) at Hobby Lobby for $8.99.  It can be torn into smaller sizes and you will see the difference in your results. Strathmore 500 series: https://www.michaels.com/product/strathmore-500-series-cold-press-ready-cut-watercolor-paper-D841196S?cm_mmc=PLASearch-_-google-_-18514200146-_-&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5deshs-ikwMV4nF_AB31GCefEAQYAiABEgJOW_D_BwE&pla_channel=online&sku=D841196S&channel=online&local=&dev=c&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=18508163256 \nTicket Policy: \n*No refunds \n*Sign up in advance!

DESCRIPTION:Transform a simple stencil into a work of art!  Many people know how to use multiple colors and gradations in a stencil\, but you can take it a step further and use it as a painting guide. Sara will show how the design of stencils\, with their positive and negative spaces\, provide the information needed to “fill in the blanks.” With our adorable blue bird stencil on a wooden heart\, and “crust medium” by Paint Couture\, Sara will show you how to make your one of a kind wall art with a raised\, textured finish. You will be able to work at your own level\, creating the look you want.  These wooden hearts have two sides\, one smooth and one with “planks’. We have chosen the smooth side for this project\, and will be offering a class to paint the other side in the near future. So watch website and social media!   Space is limited to only EIGHT\, so don’t wait to sign up! Ages 16+ please for this workshop. \n$65 \nProject description:  We will first paint the wooden heart in acrylic paint\, either like the sample or your own version.

SUMMARY:Watercolor Workshop: A Beginner's Guide to Brushstrokes
DESCRIPTION:Ever look at a watercolor painting and think\, how did they do that? This workshop is a must for anyone who’s always wondered and wanted to try.  While each artist develops their own touch\, there are techniques every aspiring painter needs to know. \n\nIn this watercolor workshop\, Sara will be teaching various brushstroke techniques most often used in loose watercolor painting.  This workshop has a required materials list-be sure to check that out at the bottom of this page!  We will be practicing our brushstrokes with Sara’s Highlander Cow in watercolor- as seen in a previous class- as well as a simple landscape.  This class is appropriate for beginners and anyone who wants to refine their skills. Be sure to bring your favorite beverages and treats!  Coffee\, tea and other hot beverages will be available.  This class is limited to 6 painters.  This is to ensure you get the most out of this workshop. Ages 16+ please! \n$60-see Ticket Policy Below. (Note earlier sign-up deadline) \nMeet your instructor:  Sara Porter \nSara is a local artist who grew up in the Brainerd Lakes Area. She has a Studio Art Degree from Northwestern University\, Roseville\, MN with an emphasis in oil painting. Currently\, besides teaching at Kicks since 2018\, she teaches elementary and high school art classes to home school co-op groups. Her class sizes have varied from 4 to 28 students\, K-12.  While she enjoys teaching\, she seeks time-out to paint in the studio or outdoors. Sara struggles to isolate a single medium as a favorite. She finds enjoyment in the freedom to grab whatever medium suits her mood. This results in a variety of classes for Kicks!  In addition to teaching\,  Sara shows original works for sale at Kicks and offers pet portraits in paint or dry media\, such as colored pencil and soft pastels. You can find her on Facebook and Instagram under ArtistSaraPorter. \nMaterials List: \nHigh quality synthetic sable brushes are most recommended\, but substitutes will do. Select options designated for water color painting.  Here are some suggestions and what I will be using: \n\nPointed Rounds in #’s 4\, 8\, & 10. Try to bring at least 2 different sizes.\nFlat brush ranging from 1/2 in to 1 in width.\nScript Liner brush or a rigger brush for finer lines and details.\n\nWatercolor Paint Tubes:  I prefer to use Winsor & Newton’s professional grade line\, but I also use some student grade paints such as Grumbacher Academy or Windsor & Newton’s Cotman series. They work OK. Our main focus will be brush strokes\, but you will need a variety of colors. The colors you need depend on your subject. For my Highlander Cow\, I will be using the following: \nAt minimum: Burnt Sienna\, Raw Sienna (or Yellow Ochre)\,  Ultramarine Blue\, Quinacridone Magenta\,  Sap Green\, Cadmium Yellow light\, Payne’s Grey\, Lamp Black \nHelpful for less mixing: Raw Umber\, Violet \nOPTIONAL:  Other colors I use often:  Prussian Blue\, Permanent Rose\, Quinacridone Gold\, Cerulean Blue\, Cobalt blue\,  Lemon Yellow\, \nPaper:  For the purposes of this class\, good quality paper will cause less frustration. You want 140 pound\, cold press paper. Arches Cold Press is most recommended. I have used Strathmore’s 400 series and it works OK\, but at least avoid hot press paper for this class.  If you don’t want to buy an entire block of Arches paper\,  you can buy a large sheet of Arches paper (22″ x 30″) at Hobby Lobby for $8.99.  It can be torn into smaller sizes and you will see the difference in your results. \nTicket Policy: \n*No refunds \n*Sign up in advance! Ticket sales close at 8PM two nights before. Last minute inquiries\, call to check on availability. \n*Class minimum: 4 \n*In the event of not reaching the minimum\, class is subject to cancellation. \n*Cancellations by us will result in a credit towards a future class or a refund. \n

SUMMARY:Make Your Own Patriotic Centerpiece
DESCRIPTION:Flag day is coming up\, not to mention Independence Day around the corner! This is the year to make something special! We’re bringing out the metal hoops again\, this time to show you how to use them as a free-standing display.  These hoops can be used for hanging solo or in groupings\, or in various centerpiece arrangements. Sara will demonstrate how to arrange and secure flowers in different compositions with the hoop\, and help you make your own! Enjoy this afternoon workshop while sipping your favorite beverage and feel free to bring your own snacks! We will have coffee and tea available. See project description for more details. \nAges 18+ recommended for this project. Space is limited for this project\, don’t wait to sign up! \n$45  (Candle not included) \nProject Description: 12″ gold metal hoop with wooden stand.  We will be using various red\, white and blue silk florals & greens\, with floral wire\, floral tape\, wire cutters\, and potentially a hot glue gun.

SUMMARY:Loon in Water-Mixable Oil Paint and Sip
DESCRIPTION:Did you know black paint out of the tube alone can make a subject look flat and lifeless? Using a dark blue or dark purple in place of black is a striking effect and very beautiful. You’re likely to achieve more depth and much more interest. Now\, look at that contrast against the orange sky!  Complimentary colors doing what they do best–making each other look great. \nThis year\, during the Loon Festival\, we are going to paint this loon design\, like last year\, but with twist. This loon sample was painted in acrylic\, with a transparent\, watery affect over permanent black line. We are going to do the same color scheme\, the same loon\, but with water-mixable oil paint. It doesn’t sound possible\, but Winsor and Newton have a line of oil paint that is able to be diluted and washed with water\, yet offers much of the same qualities as oil paint.When used thinned down\, we can get transparent layers\, but also the soft\, buttery look so characteristic of oil paint.   One of the benefits of using water-mixable oil thinned down\, is that it doesn’t take quite as long to dry as usual. But still plan to leave with a sticky painting. Keep it hanging on a wall out of reach until it is at least dry to the touch. Some of the painting will be thicker than other areas\, and so some areas will dry sooner than others.   Ages 18+ for this class please! \n$50 \nProject Description: 12×16  stretched canvas    Water Mixable Oil Paint     You will transfer the outline onto your canvas with transfer paper\, than outline it with permanent marker before proceeding with the paint layers.  Dripping effects are entirely optional. The results will be somewhat similar to this loon\, but with richer tones and more brush stroke effects. \nTicket Policy: \n*No refunds \n*Sign up in advance! Ticket sales close at 8PM the night before. Last minute inquiries\, call to check on availability. \n*Class minimum: 4 \n*In the event of not reaching the minimum\, class is subject to cancellation. \n*Cancellations by us will result in a credit towards a future class or a refund.
