<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've had a few people contacting me about my teaching schedule that it's time to post an update. Sorry there are no plans to teach art classes again anytime soon. Currently I am painting and trying to balance it all with family life, courses and work outside the studio.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is a show planned for May and I'll post more details about that on my blog and website in the coming months. See my <a href="http://aleshas-art-class.blogspot.ca/2012/08/alesha-fowlie-copyright-2011-red.html">previous post</a> for links to other art instructors and classes in Victoria.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13139492366421497679noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54340292909489837.post-47031402962309623672012-08-14T23:33:00.003-07:002012-12-29T06:11:26.557-08:00Goodbye<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm wrapping up my classes at Island Blue in the next couple of weeks then on to a long planned sabbatical from teaching art classes. The closure of their classroom has timed well with my decision.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are lots of great instructors and art classes out there, (see this<a href="http://www.artstore.islandblue.com/artclasses/classes.html"> link</a>) it's time to let someone else take a turn. I wont say I will never be back but I do need to concentrate on my family's needs and my own artwork for awhile, only time will tell what will come in the future.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am very excited about this unique art class which is specially designed for students who want to explore
their artistic side during the summer months.
Eight projects are accessible through a private class blog, which will also include eight side projects and lots of interesting links and technical information. Each project is designed to be fun and
adaptable to each student's personal style and favourite materials. As
students work through the projects independently, the blog will become a
forum for discussion and feedback between Alesha and the participating
students. Online version starts June 12th, Studio sessions are July 10th-31st</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have two options for the Art Vacation experience:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Last week I taught a five day intensive class which explored working with watercolour, gouache, acrylic, and different varieties of ink. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We worked on a wide variety of surfaces such as Cotton Watercolour Paper, Yupo, Terra-Skin, and Canvas primed with Absorbent ground medium. In the middle of the week we spent the whole day making prints with stencils and gelatin plates,[ read more about gelatin plate printing in this <a href="http://artwithalesha.blogspot.com/search/label/Making%20Prints">post</a>.]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Maybe a little too much information for five days! Next year I think I will split the acrylic and watercolour parts into two weeks.</span><br />

</div>If you have a week to devote to art making with Watercolour, Acrylic, Ink and Gouache you might want to take a look at my week long Intensive Creative Watermedia Class starting June 6th.<br />

People start working in their gardens and doing more outdoor activities and who can blame them? I myself have enjoying the time to do just that, and devote time to painting and my long neglected <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/alesha?ref=pr_shop_more#">Etsy</a> shop. <br />
Its a rare treat for me to have only one class on the go and I am looking forward to actually having the time to develop and finish my demonstration paintings and putting all my focus on one group of students.<br />
In this session we will be working with various methods of layering and working with texture. I have a mix of beginners and seasoned painters in the class so far so there will be opportunity to learn all about acrylics with step by step projects or you can work at your own pace on your own paintings,[with as much or as little feedback from me that you need.]<br />

While I love a good sheet of 140 lb cotton watercolour paper, especially after it has been soaked in a tub of water for awhile, the creative possibilities these new surfaces present always inspire me. Above is an example of watercolour on Gessoed Paper.<br />

Well my life of leisure is over and its time to head back to the classroom!<br />
Check out my schedule in this <a href="http://aleshas-art-class.blogspot.com/2010/12/january-classes-2011.html">previous post </a><br />
Creative Painting starts this Thursday Jan 6th at 9 am, its an earlier start but students are still welcome to come for the old time of 9:30 to noon. I still have a few spaces left in that one and in my First Steps In Watercolour class on Tuesday Jan 11th [9:30 to noon]<br />
<br />
Exploring Colour in Acrylics is almost full but there are two spaces last I checked <br />
<br />
Creative Drawing at Island Blue is full, but my drawing class that was due to start at Oaklands this week has been canceled, [ I guess people still haven't caught on to the fact the community centre is offering art classes now, or they are not attracted to the kid friendly format offered there.]<br />
<br />
The painting shown is "Salmon Run", watercolour and acrylic on Arches PaperAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13139492366421497679noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54340292909489837.post-15154869046798390862010-12-07T23:31:00.000-08:002011-01-12T22:35:07.654-08:00January Classes 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pcoVtZh4Lfk/TP800e5kZpI/AAAAAAAAAUw/_9vIHKntE4c/s1600/painting+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="376" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pcoVtZh4Lfk/TP800e5kZpI/AAAAAAAAAUw/_9vIHKntE4c/s400/painting+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pcoVtZh4Lfk/TP80G026pRI/AAAAAAAAAUs/SZM7r3xtGQM/s1600/painting+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

This is a self directed class that mostly attracts acrylic painters but any media is welcome. I dont do a demonstration every week but will do them when requested. The focus of the class is creative coaching designed to help students work on their own projects.<br />

We will also work on <a href="http://terraskin.com/">Terra Skin</a>, a really interesting new product made from ground stone and resin. Like <a href="http://legionpaper.com/Our-Collection/By-Brand/Yupo.htm">Yupo</a>, it's not a paper at all but something entirely different....<br />

Unfortunately I have a dead laptop right now and as my desktop computer has been refusing to have pictures uploaded to it for awhile now....that will have to wait. This computer also picked up some kind of weird virus that seems to redirect us randomly to strange websites, and we cant seem to get rid of it. Ah technology! I both love and hate it. We should be picking up a new laptop sometime this week, so stay tuned!<br />
If you were in my colour class Monday morning and came here looking for a review of the class, I dont have one but I can tell you the colours I used to make the greens were:<br />
Nickel Azo Yellow, Phthalo Blue [Green Shade] and Hansa Yellow Lemon. The red I used to mute the green and darken it was Napthol Red Light.<br />
I will post the leaf painting I started today when I finish it, [hopefully by then I will be up and running with a new computer]Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13139492366421497679noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54340292909489837.post-34166482726662471532010-09-03T12:23:00.000-07:002010-09-03T12:23:41.794-07:00Another Exploring Colour Class<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pcoVtZh4Lfk/TIFLE7fN6-I/AAAAAAAAATA/LtN5LDnePxU/s1600/pear1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pcoVtZh4Lfk/TIFLE7fN6-I/AAAAAAAAATA/LtN5LDnePxU/s320/pear1.jpg" /></a></div>My <a href="http://recreation.oakbaybc.org/pdfs/fall_alg10/adult_mrc_19yr_2010_page_37_to_57.pdf">Exploring Colour</a> Class at Henderson Recreation Centre is full,[with four on the waiting list.]<br />
