Trying to simplify, abstract and explore different techniques for an original approach are a few of the tools you will learn how to use to get back on track. Cost is $85 for members and $95 for non members. Class meets September 1-3, 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. "Intro to Pastel Night Painting" with Denise Calisti will take place September 2-3, 6:00-9:00 p.m. This workshop teaches basic pastel technique, color theory, design and application. The class will do night scenes outdoors, concentrating on lights and shadows. Possible night sites for pastel painting include: the Rehoboth Art League grounds, the dock at the marina, or the night lights of Lewes on the canal. Cost is $35 for members and $45 for non members with a $35 material fee to be paid to the instructor. Intermediate to professional level photographers will love "Image and Emulsion Transfers" with professional Theresa Airey. This course is for the busy photographer or painter who does not have a darkroom, or the time to spend in a darkroom. Students learn Polaroid image transferring, in which a daylab slide printer will convert slides to an image, and then transfer it onto a receiving material (wood, ceramic, fabric, paper, glass, etc.). After the transfer dries it can be reworked or enhanced with coloring (watercolors, pastel, or other pigments), or left as it is. Students learn how to repair an imperfect transfer, master reducing techniques, bleach a transfer, lighten or brighten an image, and save prints made from old or fogged film.
