Treat yourself to a relaxing painting session at SCAHC with SuzAnne Pacala. This class is designed for the novice painter - even if you've never painted before, you will be able to complete a summer-themed painting inspired by the California-based artist, Wayne Thiebaud. His love of simple themes, shapes, and colors will inspire you to create an 11x14 canvas - all the materials will be provided. SuzAnne's classes are relaxing and fun, with step by step instruction. This is not a typical "paint and sip" style class, as each painting is as individual as the artist who creates it! A smock or apron is suggested, and if you prefer, feel free to bring your own paint and brushes. Here's your opportunity to learn some new skills to try all summer long! Wednesday, June 18 Non-Member Price: $45 |

What is SUMI-E? SUMI-E is the Japanese word for Blank Ink Painting. East Asian painting and writing developed together in ancient China using the same materials – brush and ink on paper. Emphasis is placed on the beauty of each stroke of the brush, striving to “capture the essence or spirit of the subject” in a painting. The paper used can vary greatly in price, medium, and construction. However, the most common for class room use is an absorbing rice paper. Sumi-e Ink paintings are usually done based on memory and not from direct subject matter. Nature is studied and then the artist creates his feeling from it, creating the “chi” of the forms. In this beginner class, you will explore different brush strokes to create your own bamboo sumi ink painting! Do not wear clothes you do not want ink on. Even with precautions, such as aprons, ink does not come out of clothes. Please dress accordingly. Please register in advance to guarantee your spot as spaces are limited. All supplies will be provided. Friday, July 11 Non-Member Price: $55 |
