Time: 11am - 2pm

Maximum color will be needed to express the "Joy of Spring" along with dramatic composition to harness its energy. And Denis will show you how to achieve it!
Denis Ponsot grew up in a family of artists. And, during the summer of his 16th birthday, he realized this was meant to be his life’s work! He studied at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan where he now teaches in the college’s Continuing Education program. His specialty is watercolor, but his work spans all media, including oil, pastel and ink. His work has received dozens of accolades over the years, including “Best Watercolor” awards from Bayside Historical Society and Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition, as well as a recent “Award of Excellence” from the Art League of Long Island.
To create this watercolor, students will be required to have a completed drawing of this image prior to the start of this workshop. Then you can start painting right away as this will require a two-day session to accomplish the vibrant color of this watercolor.
Denis’s watercolor will be 24"x18" on Arches 140 cold press paper.

Our Mother’s Day workshop offers the perfect gift: Create a Watercolor Paper Cuff Bracelet with Ross Barbera
In the artists’ world, inspiration can come from any facet of life. Ross Barbera is an artist who studied painting as a graduate student at Pratt Institute in the 1970s. He was introduced to jewelry design while taking a class during his graduate studies. A new love for jewelry design then inspired a beautiful combination of jewelry and watercolor blended together.
“Although painting has defined my life, as a graduate student...I was also introduced to jewelry design. I instantly fell in love with working on small, three-dimensional jewelry objects...my jewelry work had evolved from working in metal to working in paper and wood and was becoming more closely aligned with my paintings. Watercolor on paper replaced enamels on silver, and whenever I wasn't painting, I was making jewelry.”
This workshop, “Watercolor Paper Cuff: Integrating Wire with Watercolor Paper,” presents an original method for creating cuff bracelets that combines jewelry wire and painted watercolor paper to craft one-of-a-kind, beautifully colorful bracelets. Participants in the workshop will receive personalized instruction, covering the creation of the bracelet's flexible wire frame, the incorporation of painted paper with the wire, and the final varnishing steps. Each finished cuff bracelet will be a distinctively original, wearable work of art, seamlessly merging the sophistication of jewelry with the lively colors of watercolor and acrylic paint. All essential materials and tools, including the pre-painted watercolor paper, will be supplied for the duration of the class.

No matter how many times you’ve walked along the water’s edge, you’ll find something new and exciting because the light is never quite the same. Learn how to get that beautiful glow in the waves, how to capture their translucency, how the light affects the foam on the surface of the wave, and how it changes its colors.
Lana Ballott has been painting the ocean for years and is a master of subtle and luminous colors in pastels. We are so fortunate that she will be sharing her expertise in this workshop.
To start, you will learn basic wave anatomy. You’ll also learn how to handle translucency, sparkles, foam spray, wet sand and more. Special attention will be given to using color and value to create strong, dynamic compositions.
You will also look at the advantages of working directly on toned papers or using the Wet Underpainting technique. Demos will be based on coastal landscape (coastal dunes). Students can use the demo reference photos in their projects or bring their own.
Your instructor, Lana Ballot, is a professional artist and pastel painting instructor. She has been teaching pastel painting throughout the United States and internationally. She is a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America, a member of the IAPS Master Circle and a Signature Member of the American Society of Marine Artists. Her work has been exhibited and has won awards in national juried shows.
