SUMMARY:Paint the Northern Lights in Water Mixable Oil Paint
DESCRIPTION:Many Minnesotans saw the Northern Lights this past November\, and some captured beautiful photos of the reds and greens. Why not try your hand at painting them? If you’ve never tried water-mixable oil\, you’re in for a real treat!  “Water-Mixable Oil” sounds like an oxymoron! This paint offers the benefits of oil paint with the easy clean up of soap and water instead of paint thinner. While acrylic paint dries quickly\, limiting the paint’s ability to blend smoothly\, this paint remains wet like traditional oil paint\, allowing for beautiful blending that oil painters love. We take advantage of this “open paint time” to create the glowing streaks of color in the sky and snow that looks as soft as a blanket. As usual\, this is a paint and sip style class\, so enjoy a hot beverage on us\, or bring you own favorite beverage or snack. Allow for a full 3 hours\, and prepare to leave with a tacky-wet painting. We recommend hanging your painting on a nail out of reach and just enjoy looking at it while it dries. Drying time varies with humidity levels and paint thickness. Faster than traditional oil paint\, thin layers of this paint can be dry to the touch within hours to a few days\, thicker layers can take several days to a week or more. We paint this on a larger canvas- 16×20.  We feel it is a deserving subject for at least that much! \n“Kick-in” the New Year with us at Kicks! \nThis class is for ages 18+ please! \n$50 \nTicket Policy: \n*No refunds \n*Register in advance! Registration closes at 8PM the night before the event. Last minute registrants\, 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.

SUMMARY:Painting Minnesota Landscapes with Paul Oman\, NWS
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to join us for a TWO DAY watercolor workshop with guest artist\, Paul Oman\, of Drawn to the Word\, Paul Oman Fine Art\, LLC.   (Option to attend first day only) Subjects covered: Lakes\, skies\, reflections\, trees\, birch trees and their characteristic bark and curls\, sunsets\, the cabin at the lake\, loons and more. Paul’s easy way of demonstrating will allow you to both further explore your current level of familiarity in painting\, and take next steps to challenge and grow your vision to see new possibilities. \nDates: Thursday and Friday\, September 25-26  Time: 10a-2p both days.  Cost: $75 one day;  $145 both days   (See Ticket Policy bottom of page)   Purchase your ticket from the Day One’s page description. \nDay 2 participants will create their own painting to take home. Option to mat your painting at the end of day 2. \nBring your own reference photos and painting supplies. (suggested list of supplies included below) \nSandwich lunch provided or BYO \n  \nMeet the artist:      A native of Amery\, Wisconsin\, Paul is a Signature Member of the National Watercolor Society and a Bold Brush International competition finalist for his watercolors. Painting since he was ten years of age\, Paul works full-time using his artistic abilities to bring hope\, inspiration\, and joy to the lives of others through art and its creative processes. He works in watercolor\, acrylic\, and oil. Founder of Drawn to the Word in 2011\, Paul paints large-scale canvases with high visual impact before audiences around the world. Paul lives near Deer Park\, Wisconsin with his wife\, Jana. They have three children. \nWebsites: www.paulomanfineart.com   www.drawn-to-the-word.com   Email: paul@paulomanfineart.com  FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/DrawnToTheWordPaulOmanFineArt \nSuggested List of Materials  \nPaul’s List of Materials:  \nI have listed materials that I use. You do not have to purchase these particular materials if you already have your own. Substitutes will do. \nPaints: I use Windsor $ Newton professional grade tube paints. There are several brands of professional grade watercolor paint available which are equally as good. Quality student grade watercolors (e.g. Academy [Grumbacher] or Cotman [Windsor & Newton] work OK and are less expensive. \nRecommended Colors:  Cadmium Yellow Light or Windsor Yellow\, Raw Sienna\, Raw Umber\, Burnt Sienna\, Alizarin Crimson\, French Ultramarine\, Cobalt Blue\, Cerulean Blue. \nAdditional Colors:  (not necessary but lots of fun!): Cadmium Red\, Permanent Rose\, Permanent Sap Green\, Quinacridone Gold\, Paynes Gray\, Permanent White Goauche. \nPainting Palette:      I use a John Pike painting palette. However\, any palette which has a larger-sized mixing area or areas is good. \nBrushes:     A variety of brushes will work. Here are some I use: \nFlats ranging from 1/2 to 2 in width. \nRounds\, #’s 6\, 8 & 10 \nA script brush (also called a rigger) for fine line detail. \nWatercolor Paper:       There are many papers you can buy. Your most cost-efficient means would be to buy a tablet of high quality watercolor paper. I prefer 140 pound Arches Cold Press or Rough paper\, either sheets or blocks (stack of paper glued together on the edges). Whatever paper you buy\, I strongly suggest you do NOT get a paper that has a shiny appearance to the surface. These can be very frustrating to paint on. In my opinion\, it is worth every penny to buy a higher quality paper so you can experience success. \nSomething to Put Your Paper On:     You will need a flat surface on which to place and/or fasten your paper\, such as a piece of plywood or tile board\, and a 2-3 in prop for under your board (wood block or book\, etc. ). \nOther Supplies that are helpful (*=required): \n*masking tape (I use this to tape my paper to the board) \n*#2 or softer pencil \n*kneaded eraser \n*sketch pad \n*sunglasses (helps to see values quickly) \nArt Masking Fluid (not necessary) \nSpray bottle for water (very helpful) \nsalt \nsponge \nWhere to get your supplies: \n1. I highly recommend Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff. They specialize in watercolor supplies. You can find them on-line at www.cheapjoes.com or give them a call at 1-800-227-2788. This is where I order my supplies and I have been completely satisfied for years. \n2. Another quality place is Art Supply Warehouse\, www.aswexpress.com  or 1-800-995-6778. \n3. Dick Blick Art Supplies. \n4. Michaels Craft Stores \n5. Amazon.com \nKicks the Art Place Ticket Policy: \n*No refunds \n*Register in advance! Registration closes at 8PM the night before.

SUMMARY:Loose Watercolor Painting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Ever wondered how to paint loosely with watercolor for that “effortless” look? Try the tricks of the trade with local artist\, Sara Porter\, as your instructor. With demonstrations and one-on-one assistance\, this is a hands-on experience that will open up your painting to a whole new world! This is a 3 hour workshop with a focus on learning rather than our regular paint-along classes.

Seating is limited to 8 to ensure ease of visibility and maximize the one-on-one time per person.  Don’t wait to register! \n$50 \nTicket Policy: \n*No refunds \n*Register in advance!

SUMMARY:Marsh in Moonlight
DESCRIPTION:Here in the land of 10\,000 lakes\, we also appreciate the beauty of our ponds\, wetlands\, channels and bays. This painting brings countless memories of Minnesota nights by the water.  This painting is much easier to paint than it may appear! Never under-estimate the usefulness of a hair dryer in the art studio– Yes\, we dry layers of paint to achieve the bright reflections on the water and golden moon-lit grasses.  A fan brush is the perfect tool for those wispy grasses\, and a little metallic paint doesn’t hurt either! Sara will help you every step of the way\, so you can have a great time with your friends or just a night out for yourself. This painting is with acrylic paint on a 12×16 canvas. Ages 16+ please! \n$45 \nTicket Policy: \n*No refunds \n*Register in advance! Registration closes at 8PM the night before. Last minute registrants\, call to check on availability. \n*We reserve the right to require a registration minimum; classes are subject to change. \n*Any cancellation by us will result in a credit towards a future class or a refund.
