August Classes at the Askew Art Center
Pine Mountain, Georgia

• Watercolor Crash Course! For Beginners - Viceroy Butterfly Instructor: Brenda Stevens
August 7 Time: 1 - 5 pm Min. of 4 students Fee: $70

Brenda has developed a unique and condensed method of teaching so that students can experience the
exciting medium of watercolor without the usual prerequisites. No drawing skills are needed. You will get right
to work mixing colors and learning the basic techniques of watercolor. The instructor will provide one of her
original drawings, created just for this workshop, and all of the supplies necessary to complete the painting.
You will be walked, step by step, through the entire process and in just four hours, you will have the
satisfaction of finishing a small painting to take home. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish!

• PMC Open Studio Instructor: Debra Jackson Quillen
Sunday, August 8 Time: 1 - 5 pm Fee: $30 lab fee, bring your own clay or purchase from instructor.

Bring your ideas and work on your own projects under the guidance of a certified instructor. Lab fee includes
use of tools, stencils, stamps, molds, & other equipment plus firing in a PMC kiln for maximum strength and
durability. Silver supplies including clay, paste, paper and/or syringes will be available for purchase or you
may bring your own supplies.

• Wet-in-Wet Watercolor Workshop Instructor: Dick Millman
Saturday, August 28 Time: 11 am to 5 pm Fee $75.

We will investigate a technique of wet-in-wet underpainting to create a soft base for a watercolor painting.
After applying rich primary colors to the saturated sheet, we dry it and proceed to find and "cut out" of this
cacophony of mingled color, the subject of our painting through negative painting of background and details.
We will be much involved with perspective, composition, and texture in the process. Bring watercolor paper,
soft pencil, a palette, all the brushes and paints you have, and a board to work on. If you lack materials we can
help you out. Bring a lunch to maximize working time, but you may go out to eat if you prefer.

• Clay Open Studio Teens & Adults Instructor: Faith Birkhead
Tuesdays Time: 6:30 - 9 pm Fee: varies by project - $30 & up

Don’t miss the fun going on in this class! Take a lump of clay and make a bowl, tray, face jug, vase, wall
hanging, wind chimes, you decide! This is a weekly ‘show up when & if you can’ class, so bring your ideas and
turn them into functional pottery with Faith’s guidance. Call the day of class to make sure the class is on.
