ONLINE Painting with Colored Pencils: White on White,
Fine Art Workshop with Cynthia Knox, CPSA
Three Day Workshop: March 19-21, 2021, 9am-4pm
$460 M/$495 NM

All white is NOT the same! Cynthia will guide you through the nuances of white with each item in this still life – from the cream of the background to the pinks and blues in the peonies and cup.

Discover the difference between drawing and painting with colored pencils in this three-day colored pencil workshop.  Cynthia Knox will guide you step by step through the process of creating this stunning still life (photo reference shown) and will demonstrate her signature style of painting with this dry medium.  A variety of tips and techniques will be taught that will enable each artist to render the subtleties of the varying tones of “white,” the green leaves, and juicy strawberries, as well as textures and surfaces seen in this composition. 

In addition to group and individual instruction, Cynthia will provide high-quality instructional materials that include a glossy tutorial booklet, reference photo, her popular “Cheat Sheet” and the actual surface with a light tracing of the entire still life to minimize actual drawing time and focus on color rendering.  Join Cynthia in creating a unique masterpiece that friends and family will be certain to ask, “THAT’s colored pencil?!”

Cynthia Knox, CPSA, is a colored pencil and graphite artist who lives in New York with her family.  Her artwork has received numerous awards in national and international juried exhibitions, and she has published 13 art instructional books, with a new book to be released in the Fall of 2018.  Publishers include Walter Foster Publishing (Quartos), Ann Kullberg Publishing, Strathmore Artists, and Viking Woodcrafts.  Cynthia teaches art workshops to individuals and large groups throughout the United States, internationally and online with Craftsy.com.  She is represented by LaBelle Enterprises for her workshops with Bob LaBelle as the primary contact: boblabelle@sbcglobal.net.

Cynthia’s artwork, resume, and workshops can be viewed on her website at www.cynthiaknox.com, and she is on Facebook and Instagram.

A complete materials list will be downloadable by September 2020.

Going Green: Celebrate the Earth! March 31 – April 29

Going Green: Celebrate the Earth! March 31 – April 29

Going Green: Celebrate the Earth!
March 31 – April 29

The Art Guild invites all artists, 18 years and older (high school students ages 14-18 years may enter in the student category), to submit digital images of their 2D or 3D art works for consideration for its Going Green: Celebrate the Earth Exhibition and Competition. 

Join us in honoring our late member, Myra Fox as we celebrate Earth Day. A committed environmentalist and chair of the original “Going Green” exhibit, Myra was happiest when her hands were dirty –  either with paint or from her gardening work. We invite artists to repurpose, recycle or create new artwork to celebrate the beauty of the world around us and honor the spirit of Myra, who was so committed to healing our earth. 

All work must be original. Celebrate the beauty of our planet. Raise public awareness.  Show us your green ideas by using traditional media and/or old things in new ways. Recycle, Reuse and Renew. The selection committee’s decision is final.  Works to be included in this exhibition must be available from March 25 – April 29.

MEDIUM
Any medium, including but not limited to acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel, drawings, mixed media, collage or sculpture with pedestal.  (NO COPIES, REPRODUCTIONS, PHOTOGRAPHY OR GICLEES PLEASE)

JUROR
Martha Tarlow, Owner of the Roslyn Village Gallery.  Marsha Tarlow was born in Manhattan and grew up on the lower East Side where her parents encouraged an appreciation of the arts and nurtured her love of painting. Marsha opened the Roslyn Village Gallery in 2016 and featured a large exhibit of Myra Fox’s work in 2017.
Of her own art Marsha says, “I believe my paintings speak on a level that makes one feel good. My art is peaceful, inspiring in me a feeling of serenity. If the content is sincere, it will be noticed. To me, painting is like breathing and I often remind myself how lucky I am to be a painter. I don’t believe artistic skill is a natural endowment…you are born with a gift, but the determining factor for an artist is motivation and hard work. It takes intelligence, sensitivity, good teaching and luck to develop artistically.” Her work is in many private collections. 

SIZE AND FRAMING Size, with frame, must not exceed 36” on the longest side. Work should be cleanly matted and/or framed (if appropriate), wired securely for hanging, with the wire attached via screw eyes or D-rings to the frame, not the backboard. (Gallery wraps are acceptable.) No saw tooth hangers, no tape or string on the back. Work must be labeled with the title (if any), artist’s name, phone number, and email address.  

FINALISTS The Selection Committee will review all entries and notify each artist as to the acceptance of the submitted work. The Art Guild has the right, in its sole discretion, to choose which eligible entries will be accepted to be exhibited. All decisions are final. Artists whose work has been selected will be notified after March 13.
