DATES: January 11-13, 2008 and June 20-22, 2008

Ann Cheeks & Jean Sampson Women’s Playshop: Please join us at The Meeting Place for an idyllic weekend. This Playshop (not workshop) is all about having fun and getting away from the real world for a little while. Jean and Ann will provide all materials and help you create your very own personal mask, “magic wands” and wild woman earrings – with quick, silly writing exercises thrown into the mix. Artists, Cheeks and Sampson are members of the McGuffey Art Center in Charlottesville, VA. For additional information, please call 434-361-2380 or visit www.vcimeetingplace.com.

Ron Ranson Watercolor Workshop

DATES: May 19-22, 2008

Ron’s watercolor paintings are both impressionistic and representational. Using his signature hake brush, his aim is to produce strong and colorful paintings with an economy of strokes and a limited palette. He teaches freedom of expression and simplicity. You will learn how to paint decisively and quickly. Ron not only does several demos each day, but works with each student on a one to one basis. Strong design principles are emphasized, and his English sense of humor keeps the class laughing. Ron is an English artist, teacher, and author, who has recently moved from England to Portland, Oregon. He is one of the world’s most traveled watercolor teachers, giving workshops and private lessons to students on every continent for many years. Ron is a seemingly tireless watercolorist, with a worldwide reputation, having written over 25 books on painting and made many instructional videos that are sold throughout the world. He also writes articles for art magazines in England, Holland, Norway, and Australia, and has been the European editor of the prestigious publication, the “International Artist”.

Ron's Watercolor Workshop is a must "getaway weekend." We'll see you at The Meeting Place. Read our flyer here.
