Artrageous Workshops—Calypso Moon Studio
To celebrate Artrageous in Oak Park, Calypso Moon Studio will offer two adult workshops, taught by artist and writer Sallie Wolf. Sallie creates panoramic watercolor and mixed media landscapes in her studio, Calypso Moon. She also works in collage and continues her on-going Moon Project, an ever-growing compilation of drawings, graphs, music, and installations based on daily observations of the moon and its movements. Sallie is the author of three children’s books, including The Robin Makes A Laughing Sound: A Birder’s Journal, which is illustrated with sketches scanned from her journals and sketchbooks. To learn more about Sallie’s art and writing, visit her website, www.sallie.com.
Basic Drawing and Introduction to Watercolor
Saturday, October 9, 9 am to noon. $45
Learn to draw, using a basic “vocabulary” of lines and shapes. Then experiment with watercolor, which is essentially a drawing medium. From small sketches and doodles to larger works based on observation or preliminary sketching, participants will explore ways to record the world around them and the dreams within them.
Bring whatever drawing and watercolor materials you may already have. Paper, brushes, paint, and drawing implements will be available to purchase or borrow for the class.
Paint and paper plate palette--$3
Fabriano Artistico Paper, 140 lb cold pressed--$1 per quarter sheet
Making, Keeping, and Using an Artist’s Sketchbook-Journal
Saturday, October 9, 1:30-3:00 pm. $45 (price includes an autographed copy of Sallie Wolf’s book, The Robin Makes A Laughing Sound: A Birder’s Journal, which grew directly out of her sketchbook-journal practice.)
Participants will create a simple 32 page, 3-hole pamphlet-stitch journal, and explore different ways of keeping a sketchbook-journal and different materials to use. All materials are be included in the cost of the workshop.
Calypso Moon Studio will be open for the Studio Walk, Saturday, Oct 9, from 2-7 pm.
