Inviting you to Elaine Frenett's newest journaling opportunity! And it's all about YOU!! Once a month she'll do a quick demo and the remainder of the "clinic" time will be for helping you with YOUR journals and answering any questions you have. She'll bring along extra materials from the demo for you to try out -- and we'll enjoy the focus of once a month journaling together, catching up, and perhaps learning a wealth of new techniques and ideas from one another. Do come join her!!

From value studies, color wheel review (a special week just on greens!) and then onto more diverse and complex techniques, this series will help you deepen your watercolor foundations. Some drawing skills and watercolor experience needed. With these 6 class sessions one week apart, participants have time to practice their new skills and savor what only watercolor can do!

This workshop came about in the most serendipitous way and will continue to be magical in content. I “stumbled” across elinor (yes, there’s a reason her name is in lower case – just ask her) and we’ve now designed this fascinating, dynamic three-day workshop. Both professionals, Elaine Frenett and elinor peace bailey (doll designer and journaler extraodinaire: http://www.epbdolls.net/), will provide a tumble of techniques and diverse exposure to ways of expressing in your visual art journals. Entire workshop will be meeting at elinor’s studio, which will limit participants to only ten (10). You will be a unique and privileged group.

• July 11th, will be our “Preview Night” with a visual feast of journals and chatter about media, processes and maybe there will be cookies (if you are good).
• July 12th, 9 – 4pm ~ elinor will lead an on-foot scavenger hunt at fabric, collectables and recycle stores for texture, text, still life, collage materials. Then, we’ll return to the studio for juicy journal creating.
• July 13th, 9-4pm ~ Elaine will lead, on site at a breath-taking spot on the Columbia River Gorge (yes, we’ll all be driven there), several plein air processes in our journals.
• July 14th, 9-4pm ~ This will be a half day with first Elaine, demo-ing a material for you to use adding a new three-dimensional aspect to your journals, and after lunch, elinor offering another imaginative process and tying together the entire workshop.

• Full Three Day Workshop, with lunches provided, $150
• For ages (but you must bring your “child-within”)
• Lodging info will be the responsibility of the participants. elinor will furnish contacts for suggested hotels nearby for your convenience.

Next year's dates are: Sept. 9th-14th!!
