James McFarlane, AWS, PWCS, PWS,
watercolor workshop in early October, exact dates to be announced. At the Colonie Town Hall. For information, call Kris Woodward, 783-1828




Jim McFarlane will be coming for the October  4  demo and will do a one or two-day workshop when he is here.  Workshop dates are Monday October 3 and Tuesday October 4.  Jim: “The most important thing to me when selecting subject matter is that the image is composed of shapes that I can make into an interesting design.   Once I have selected a subject, the enjoyable part of the creative process begins and I am free to experiment with color, key and mood.   I hope to initially attract the viewer with how I’ve portrayed the image; but it is with the more abstract qualities of the painting—it’s spatial design, value pattern, color harmonies and painterly brushwork—that I hope to hold them. “  

You can see Jim’s work at   www.jimmcfarlanestudio.com.   If you are interested in taking this workshop…please contact Kris @ kristin.woodward@earthlink.net, or 783-1828.   The workshop will be approximately $50-55 per day.  I believe single days may be available.    Jim would also be willing to include a slide commentary of the AWS show in NYC if the majority of the class wished so.   Deposits of $25 will reserve your spot…payable to CAL, mailed to KW, 44 Hoffman Dr., Latham  12110.  Closing date for the workshop is September 22nd.
