Workshops at Sewell Mills

These one-day workshops are part of an ongoing series, "Bring-a-Dish Painting."  We start the day with a pot-luck sharing of food, then paint the subject for the rest of the day.  All of these workshops are designed with the novice watercolorist in mind, although experienced painters will also get a lot from the day.  These workshops fill fast, so sign up early to reserve a chair.  Contact Sewell Mills Studio, (410) 200-1743 or contact using email for more information or to register for each of these workshops. 50.00 for each one-day workshop. Register early to assure a chair. Please pay for each workshop separately.


Snowy Day, Snowy Owl
Saturday, February 22nd, 11:00 am - 4:30 pm. This year has seen an incredible number of Snowy Owls invading Maryland from the arctic.  It seemed like a good time to paint one of these gorgeous pale birds.  We'll look at subtle changes in color and texture as we paint an owl in the snow.  paper provided.   

Spring in the Wood: Black Throated Blue Warbler
Saturday, March 15th, 11:00 am - 4:30 pm. With spring on the way, painting an often-seen small spring bird could be just the thing to brighten our spirits.  This pretty little warbler will give us a chance to work on texture and composition s we paint it on a budding branch. paper provided. 
Matting and Framing Workshop: March 1st: 1:00 am - 4:00 pm.  In this afternoon workshop, we'll look at how to cut a double mat, add backing and frame to a painting, all done safely, cheaply and easily. Bring a painting and a frame (call or email for details).  We'll all get practice using a mat cutter, and come away with a framed painting.  This is not a Bring-a-Dish workshop.  Some materials provided.

Putting Your Drawings into Perspective: April 26th: 1:00 am - 4:00 pm.   This is not a Bring-a-Dish workshop.  We'll spend the afternoon looking at how to create the illusion of depth in a drawing.  Using mainly pencil, we will expect to look at one, two and three-point linear perspective, as well as atmospheric perspective.  It sounds like a lot of information, but we'll make it fun and interesting as we develop our skills at creating drawings that look three-dimensional.  Some materials provided.
Visit Sewell Mills Studio & Gallery in Greensboro any time to see recent paintings and work in progress.  Call or email to make sure we're open.
