"A Taste of Mixing Colors"
Nancy Collins has spent more than 35 years making art. She oozes creativity from every pore. She’s executed everything from sculpture to print making, but her true art soul mate is watercolor.
Nancy says, “It’s the little things about color that seize my attention and captivate me." She delights in light and shadow pirouetting across fabrics, crystal, laces and flowers. Nancy’s use of robust, vibrant colors often leads to the question, “Is this watercolor?” The answer is ‘yes’. It’s transparent, staining color. Under Nancy’s control the colors take on an alluring luminosity. Her strong contrast is essential to the unforgettable look of her paintings. Nancy often paints with warm colors in the center of her subject and cool colors on the parameters, giving the illusion of glow. It’s as if she turns on the heart light of her subjects.
Her latest adventure is a DVD called “Exploring The Truth About Color”, which will be available for purchase soon.
Her classes cover all skill levels from beginners to professional watercolorists. This class will fill up quickly as our survey found requests for Nancy as well as an overwhelming request for a watercolor class.

"The Art of the Feast"
Come celebrate art and food combined into one gloriously delectable day of making art and breaking bread together! Bring your own food-oriented subject matter... and potluck to share. Support local consciousness by using locally grown fruits, vegetables, breads, pies, wines, etc. as your artistic focus for the day. Instruction on composition will be available if you desire to participate. Art made at this event will be considered for an MCAA group show at the Corner Gallery in November of this year.
Bring your own materials…any medium (no turpentine or terpenoids). Bring fruits, wine, bread, pie, etc. or photos of food, also easels, drop cloths, TV tray for your subject matter, etc.
