OSA demonstrations are free and open to the public.

SECOND-THURSDAY DAYTIME DEMONSTRATION:  Thursday, November 8, 11am "Layers of Color in Acrylic"    William Hernandez

In this demo, participants will learn how to loosen up and apply paint in a gestural, painterly manner using acrylic paint on canvas. Using different layers of colors, paint and brush strokes in a spontaneous way. William will show how he delves into imagery with a sense of boldness and spontaneity and to explore the emotional color response, rather than realistic color. If you feel that you are concentrating too much on small details at the expense of a bolder, more dramatic outcome, this step-by-step demo will help you to learn what to paint as William takes color to new unexpected places by working with various colors and departing from a quick sketch. The demo begins with a short explanation of his own process, methods, and a step-by-step painting demonstration.   Doors open at 10 a.m.

ART WITHOUT PASSPORTS SERIES:  Thursday, November 15, 6:30pm "The MacKintosh Art Legacy - Where Art & Architecture are One" Greg Lewis

Who was this man of artistic talent, that helped introduced a holistic approach to generations of artists, architects and interior designers? Charles Rennie MacKintosh (1868-1928), set new and innovative standards during the European movements of Art Nouveau and Symbolism. His modern designs in architecture and interior decor, promoted living in total art environments. Bring a friend and join us for this look at the life and work of CRM...where art and architecture become one.
