SUMMARY:Mini Workshop - Painting Beyond the Border with Therese Ferguson
DESCRIPTION:Wickham Park Community Center\n2815 Leisure Way\, Melbourne FL 32935 \nInstructor – Therese Payne Ferguson\nWe’ll be creating personalized greeting cards by combining photographs and watercolor. Therese will show us how we can paint on the outside edges to extend the photo. You’ll have the opportunity to paint three cards during the workshop. Additional cards will be available for purchase. \n \nSupplies\nRegular paint supplies\nSaran wrap\nTape\n3×5 photos of your choosing printed on satin or glossy photo paper\n(Important: The opening on the cards is 3.5” x 5”. Keep in mind 1/4″ of the photo will be under the card frame on each side\,) \nCost:\nMembers – FREE\nNon-Members – $20 \nMeet Therese Payne Ferguson\nMy journey as an artist allows me to grow every single day. I continue to explore and experiment in the watercolor medium with every painting I create. I love the transparent glow that you achieve the mingling colors or adding various techniques… it’s like magic with every brush stroke. Sometimes it will takes me on a different path or an exciting journey different than what I had planned\, but always opening new and wonderfully exciting explorations of color\, light and shadow. \nI am very much influenced by the bright sunny climate here in Florida. My mastery of the watercolor medium has evolved from and is definitely influenced by my surroundings\, having grown up along the east coast. From the bright bold colors I use to the subjects I love to paint. Many of my inspirations are from my tropical surroundings as well as the many resources we have here to observe wildlife and birds in Florida. We enjoy the many wetland areas\, wildlife refuges as well as gardens and zoos that offer a wealth of reference. It is often from these that I use for sketches for my paintings. I often explore the farmer’s markets or thrift stores looking for just the right objects for still life subjects that come to life once in my studio. While some of my subjects are “found” and others evolve in the studio\, they all require a creative eye to some degree. I often add more color\, simplify the images\, or focus in on a particular area to bring the subjects to life\, while adding my own style of painting. \nMy work is collected internationally\, in both private and corporate collections. I have won numerous awards and have been commissioned works of art and event posters as well as being a Signature member of the Florida Watercolor Society. My work is featured in the 2011 publication of Best of American Watercolor Artists book. I enjoy participating in the art festivals in Florida\, and am a partner in Art & Antique Studio\, a Fine Art Gallery and Studio in Melbourne\, Florida in the Eau Gallie Arts District at 1419 Highland Ave. My work can be seen there as well as many locations throughout Brevard County in cooperation with the Brevard Cultural Alliance’s Art in Public Places. \nRegistration Form\nPlease complete the form below.

SUMMARY:Watercolor Impressions - Painting the Magic of Children with Janet Rogers
DESCRIPTION:Janet Rogers has been a working professional artist for over 38 years and is a nationally recognized instructor\, conducting workshops all over the United States and in Europe. She is a Signature member of the American Watercolor Society\, the Florida Watercolor Society and others. Learn more about Janet Rogers at watercolorsbyrogers.com. \nThis dynamic 2-day workshop sponsored by BWS is designed to enable participants of all levels to quickly gain confidence in approaching painting children in a more spontaneous\, intuitive and expressive way. Demonstrations\, class instruction\, individual assistance\, “show and tell”\, and a series of “fun” exercises\, will weave into class painting time. Special emphasis will be on achieving a fresh look of translucent flesh tones in the portrait with unique color changes\, which will add to the excitement of capturing the magic of children. \nStudents will have an opportunity to work from their photographs or Janet’s. Our goals will be to “see” in new ways – bringing “life” and interpretation to the portrait and figure\, and to discover intuitive color and design. \nArtist Statement\n“I love the fluid nature of watercolor. To me\, the interaction of artist with the medium is like a dance – full of motion\, feeling\, and expression. Discovering new color and composition as the painting develops is my joy. As a teacher\, my goal is to enable students to find their connections with watercolor in new and expressive ways.” – Janet Rogers\, AWS \nDates & Time\nNovember 15-16\, 2026\n9:30 am – 4:00 pm \nLocation\nHester Wagner House\n6100 Hall Road\, Melbourne\, FL 32904 \nCost\n$275 for BWS members\n$325 for non members\n$50 deposit required by 11/1/26 to reserve your spot \nContact\nLaurie Griffin at (321) 544-3041 or lbgriffi@att.net \nRegistration\nPlease see our Deposit & Refund Policy before registering\, then complete and submit the form below:\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastPhone *Email *Payment (choose one): *Deposit (BWS Member) - $50.00Deposit (Non-Member) - $50.00Full Registration (BWS Member) - $275.00Full Registration (Non-Member) - $325.00Balance after deposit (BWS Member) - $225.00Balance after deposit (Non-Member) - $275.00WebsiteSubmit & Pay
