All members of the Columbus Artists’ Guild who attended the July, 2012 meeting, got to meet the joyful and delightful painter, Kellie Newsome. Kellie is a creative artist, energetic teacher, and paint representative for CHROMA's Atelier Interactive brand. The Guild was pleased to offer area artists the opportunity to learn the use of these unusual, slow drying acrylic paints in a 2 day workshop. Lunch on Saturday was courtesy of Summers Landing.
Day 1 (Tips and Techniques) During this, day students learned about what the bright and vibrant paint has to offer. They explored the thick and luscious paint along with all the mediums. They learned how this paint has all the benefits and abilities to create techniques that are usually associated with only watercolor or oil paint. Information covered blending, creating texture, photo transfers, layering, monotypes, and glazes. Students brought a surface to paint on, brushes, a water basin, and a table or standing easel. The possibilities this paint has to offer was inspiring!! A more detailed supply list was mailed to participants. Paint sets were available for purchase from Kellie.
Day 2 (Portrait Workshop) Students learned how to paint fresh and colorful portraits. Her simple instruction covered topics including loose application, unique color scheme, color blending, and building a balanced composition. These topics can be applied to portraits of any kind. Artists of all abilities had fun and learned in a creative environment. A detailed outline was supplied for each person, with daily exercises, along with a facial proportion chart developed by Kellie to help all abilities find the relationships of facial features. Students brought an 8x10 high quality photo of just the head and shoulders, or Kellie provided them with a high quality fashion photo from her personal collection. Kellie can be contacted by email: kellie_newsome@yahoo.com
