Join Big Island artist Patti Pease Johnson for the Paint Your Own Silk Scarf workshop from 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Feb. 27 at Volcano Art Center.
Pease Johnson invites participants to “open up your creativity and challenge yourself by learning this fun technique. It’s guaranteed to change the way you look at color. Better yet, you might discover your newest passion.”
In this workshop, participants paint their own 8-inch-by-53-inch scarf using a choice of three colors, which will create many more colors on the silk. Pick a main color, then, choose the other two after learning about color theory.
Desired colors are then mixed, achieved by pre-mixing the four process colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black).
Students from previous classes have been amazed by what they refer to as “happy color accidents.”
“It’s all about playing with colors,” Pease Johnson said. “This workshop offers you a great way to have fun with colors and dyes and make a stylish personal statement every time you wear it!”
Pease Johnson’s artwork can be found at galleries and shops throughout the state and in collections around the world. She lives in Keaau with her family and teaches painting at her home studio.
Cost for the workshop is $45 for VAC members, $50 nonmembers, plus a $10 supply fee per person. Beginner and intermediate artists are welcome.
Pease Johnson also will offer a Soft Pastel Still Life workshop March 5 at Volcano Art Center. For more information or to register, call VAC at 967-8222 or visit on line at www.volcanoartcenter.org.
