Lose Your Blues With Fantasy Art! Participants will work with pen-and-ink to refine drawing skills and learn how to capture unicorns, mermaids, dragons, flowers, or whatever is your particular fantasy fancy! We’ll also create some original designs to embellish the figures! Draw on paper or decorate a white lampshade, jewelry box, or any plain white or light colored surface. Your imagination will be encouraged to soar as you explore the possibilities! Needed Supplies: 1) A Sharpie Pen or preferred brand (Fabre-Castell B or M is a good size; your pen should not be a marker.) I recommend bringing two of these, perhaps 2 different fine-point sizes. 2) Smooth-surface white drawing paper or drawing pad, at least 11x14” 3) Drawing pencils HB or 2B and a good eraser 4) You may prefer to draw only on paper, but please bring an object as described above if you would like! 5) Optional: Any pictures of fantasy figures, flowers, or anything you have on hand that you’d like to work from. I will supply some of these as well. This class has a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 12. If the class does not meet the minimum, participants will be refunded. Tickets are non-refundable once the registration deadline ends. About Janet Mego: I have been compelled to draw, paint, and sculpt since I was six years old. From the first grade upward, after earning first place in a juried show in the first grade, and later receiving recognition for my early artistic endeavors in Baltimore, Maryland, I then earned a BFA in Art at the University of Alabama. Much of what I do has been influence by the fine art of “learning to see”, implemented masterfully by those professors essential in taking me far beyond the face value of that degree. I’m graced in this regard by having studied with Professors Alvin Sella, Richard Zoellner, and Arthur Oakes. After graduation, I began working with watercolor portraiture and continued to exhibit pieces in galleries and patron’s homes in several counties throughout Alabama. Placing in juried shows and exhibitions concomitant with my tenure as Artist in Residence for the Sumter County Fine Arts Council in the 1980s, and as adjunct art instructor for Livingston University (now the University of West Alabama), I continued to explore the intricacies of the human face and its expression of emotion. Concomitantly, I felt a spiritual awareness of the beauty of nature creep from my soul into the watercolors that had become my favorite medium. Later, I rediscovered and applied the acrylic paints I’d used in college to canvas and to a more abstracted interpretation of trees, of water, of sky, and of terrain. This workshop is sponsored in part by the Alabama State Council on the Arts.
