SUMMARY:October 2016 NFWS Members' Meeting and Thomas W. Schaller Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:NFWS welcomes our Fall 2016 Workshop Artist\, Tom Schaller to the Burchfield Penney Art Center auditorium for his much anticipated demonstration. Tom has shared with us:”All art has some story to tell. And in my work – far more than any specific object or space – it is the narrative of light that is always the focus. While I love to paint cityscapes and buildings\, I have found that it is the often abstract dialogue between – and the collision of – the natural and the man-made worlds that makes the most compelling subject matter for me. The fascinating ways in which buildings interact with the sky and the landscapes where they are placed form countless surprising and beautiful compositions of positive and negative shapes – rich darks and sparkling lights. \nAs an architect\, I was trained in the strict Beaux-Arts methods of watercolor application; but as a fine artist\, I have grown to love the integration of those formal techniques with the freedom of much looser\, less controlled\, and expressionistic methods. It is my goal to paint quickly\, drawing on emotion and sense memory – finishing a painting all in one go. When finished\, I like my watercolors to still look as if they are wet. In many ways\, I see watercolor as a natural extension of the intuitive act of drawing. But rather than using a line formed by pen or pencil\, in watercolor\, I draw using shapes – shapes of value – shapes of shadow and light.” \nVisitors are invited to hear about watercolor classes and upcoming events\, watch the demo\, and enjoy the BPAC galleries and gift shop with a group of enthusiastic fellow artists and art lovers.

SUMMARY:Members Meeting & Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Our November demonstration will be by our NFWS Signature Member\, artist and beloved teacher\, Joan Hambleton. Joan works in a variety of styles in transparent watercolor and aqua media. She calls her work impressionistic plein air. She describes herself this way:\n“As an artist\, I like painting the things I see around me. Studying the play of light against the background and the various changes in color and value are exciting personal experiences for me. I have been recognized in Western New York for my watercolors and acrylics and am constantly exploring new modes of expression.Much of my work begins outdoors with either transparent watercolors or acrylics. Along with some sketches and photographs\, I return to my studio to complete my paintings. By working this way\, I hope to respond to my environment and capture the spirit of the day. Once in the studio\, I continue to work with both watercolors and acrylics in combination.This gives me a sense of freedom and adds a new dimension to my work. .My work is done on untreated paper and is still considered aqua-media.” \nThe meeting and demo begin at 7 pm and last til 9 pm.\nJoin us as we enjoy the company of painters and art lovers.
