Dina Wakley Returns

 

DINA WAKLEY

WORKSHOPS

JULY 7 & 8, 2023

I am so excited to announce that Dina Wakley is returning to teach a wonderful weekend workshop on July 7 & 8.  It has been such a long time since we have had a guest artist and I am thrilled that she is our first since the world went haywire!

Most of you know Dina.  She is a mixed-media artist and teacher.  She travels all over the world teaching her unique style of art and art journaling.  As a Ranger signature artist, she has a variety of products that were created to express her unique style.  I am pleased to say she was teaching here long before she joined Ranger as a Signature Designer.

Here are the classes being offered!  

Please note that the photos shown for each class are only representations of the work you will do and your work will not match these photos.

DINA'S WORKSHOPS

Dina-Style Art Journaling:

The Basics

$80

Friday, July 8 

10 am to 1 pm

Curious about art journaling?  Not sure where to start?  Join Dina and she will give you a "Dina Style" introduction to keeping a journal with art and words.  No drawing required just a willingness to play and express!

Seeing Clearly 

$80

Friday, July 7

2:30 pm to 5:30 pm

 

Let's make art that is chock full of interesting "clear" elements - tranparencies!  Dina will show you some of her favorite ways to create with transparencies.

Ditch the Brayer

$80

July 8

10 am to 1 pm

Gel Printing has been around a number of years, but this isn't your standard printing class.  Here we use the gel plate in ways that result in very unique prints and effects.  Think grunge, graffiti, raw.  We will use many mediums (Gloss sprays, Scribble Sticks, etc) on the plate, not just acylic paint.  You'll be amazed at your results.

Yes, You Can Draw Faces

$80

Friday (Saturday) July 7 (8)

2:30 pm to 5:30 pm

Dina says she is not someone who has an innate drawing gift.  All of her drawing comes out of technique and practice.  This class is a great start to your drawing life.  We'll go over proportion and features.  You'll also learn how to mix skin tone colors and paint faces with acrylic.  You don't need talent, just a desire to learn.  This class is suited for those with little to no prior drawing experience but those who have taken this class or have experience may find it is a great refresher course.
