			Warm and Cool Light, Warm and Cool Colors November 30 - December 4, 2009 (9 AM - 4 PM) — This workshop will use still life as a means to study light, an artist's greatest gift. In the first three days of class students will paint from "warm" studio light on larger canvases, with emphasis on composition, drawing, and value. The last two days, students will have the opportunity to paint from "cool" north daylight, indoors. The set ups will be for smaller canvases and quicker studies. The purpose is to understand the difference between the two different temperatures of light and the effect it has on color relationships. Students of all levels will find these studies valuable no matter what subject matter they may ultimately wish to pursue.  Website: http://reg129.imperisoft.com/SAS/ProgramDetail/33373332/Registration.aspx				Location: Scottsdale, AZ Instructor: Susan Diehl Sponsor: Scottsdale Artists' School Cost: $635.00 Email: Scottsdale Artists' School Phone: (480) 990-1422 or (800) 333-5707

			Wet & Wild! Painting Vibrant Water Scenes November 30 - December 4, 2009 (9 AM - 4 PM) — Learn how to make water look wet, reflective and splashy!

			How to Plan a Painting: A Design Boot Camp January 13 - March 3, 2010 (Wednesdays, 6:30-9:30 PM) — Robert Henri said "a good painting is a remarkable feat of organization". Get ready to explore the first and foremost demand of picture making - good design. Composition is not being able to fit your subject matter on the canvas. Good composition is creating a beautiful and dynamic visual statement through the adaptation of an intentional plan - a coordination of parts to produce a harmonious whole. Intent and purpose trumps all particulars in the planning of a painting. The artist will go on an exploration of all the elements of picture making: proportion, dominance, subordination, movement, creating emphasis, and space. We will exploit the elements of art: value, line, texture, shape and color in our search for a unity of effect.  Website: http://reg129.imperisoft.com/SAS/ProgramDetail/33383437/Registration.aspx				Location: Scottsdale, AZ Instructor: Susan and Doug Diehl Sponsor: Scottsdale Artists' School Cost: $360.00 Email: Scottsdale Artists' School Phone: (480) 990-1422 or (800) 333-5707
