SUMMARY:Tintype Family Portraits (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:Tintype Family Portraits\nA Mother’s Day gift to remember! Tintype photographer and current Creative Resident\, Megan Karson\, will be on site creating unique handmade 4”x5” family portraits. Tintype photography was developed in the 1850s and was popular for portraiture\, especially during the Civil War era. These archival heirloom quality photographs are made using a metal plate coated with a specially prepared light sensitive emulsion. After a brief light exposure while taking the photograph\, the plate is then developed in a dark room. Only 14 spots are available. \nNote: This will take place outdoors. Cover from rain will be provided\, if necessary. Portraits will be available to pick up a few days after the event. \nWHERE\nYou will be directed when you arrive at the Reserve. \nWHEN\nMay 11\, 30-minute appointments from 9:30 AM through 5 PM \nCOST\n$85 Members\n$125 Non-members\, includes price of admission \nNot a member yet? Join here \nSOLD OUT\nNotes: Megan will send you a scan of your plate once the session is over\, and you are free to make copies of it as you please. Wear what makes you feel most comfortable and most like yourselves\, as these photos are a look into each person’s unique life. That being said\, here are some suggestions that pertain mostly to the nature of collodion photography. \n\nSolid black and solid white are not recommended because they take up so much attention and space in the image. Cool colors tend to appear much lighter and warm colors tend to darken (I.e blue will lighten and red will darken)\nThese images will develop backwards on the plate so any clothing with words will appear reversed\nPatterns\, textures and accessories add a lot of visual interest and character to the image

SUMMARY:Plein Air Painting for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Plein Air Painting for Beginners with Gigi Godfrey\nPainting on location allows artists to capture the emotional and sensory spirit of a moment in time. The plein air experience can be a challenge with changing light and weather. This workshop is designed to encourage a relaxed and fun approach to painting outdoors. The morning will include a review of materials & equipment\, followed by a short demonstration using some general guidelines in exploring composition\, simplifying large masses\, and observing nuances in color. Most of the time will be spent painting and getting feedback. \nBring what equipment you have\, keep it simple and light. Include a portable chair/stool if you have one. Bag lunches are allowed in the parking area. Bring a water bottle and a sun hat or visor—sunglasses are not effective for plein air painting. Dress for the weather. Plan to paint more than one scene\, remember that the light changes! Gigi teaches primarily oils\, acrylics\, or gouache. However\, many of the principles that will be reviewed cross over to most mediums. \nWHERE\nMeet in Arrival Garden \nWHEN\nMay 20\, 10:45 – 4:00 PM \nCOST\n$110 Members\n$150 Non-members (includes admission to the Reserve)\nA view finder and value scale are included in the price. \nNot a member yet?
