This series of landscape oil paintings by artist Nina Weiss depict nature with colors intense, lush and dramatic. Her work travels beyond traditional ideas of a green landscape, as she teases out the complex colors of nature, creating layers of contrast, line and form. Through her paintings, she celebrates hidden natural landscapes that are often ignored or overlooked in urban environments. Her work provides the viewer with a contemporary look at the traditional genre of landscape.

Free.  No registration required. Exhibition runs November 9 - December 23. allery hours: Monday - Thursday 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., Sundays 1 - 3 p.m. or by appointment.

Travel Sketching: Creative Color Beyond Green

You love to draw and travel! Combine the two as you learn to capture fresh, expressive landscapes using water-based color pencils and non permanent graphic black pens. Learn elements crucial to successful landscape drawings with emphasis on a creative use of color. The workshop will cover colored pencil techniques such as layering, hatching; wet and dry usage; and the use of value and tonal value. Experiment with both studio sketching from photographs and plein-air drawings on site.
