Join instructor Vicki Penney-Rohner for a two-day oil painting workshop from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. March 12-13 at Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village.
The cost is $100 or $90 for VAC members. Students will need a small canvas, paints and brushes. A supply list will be provided.
Understanding your medium and using your tools effectively gives the results you want. If you are an intermediate or beginner, this two-day class will give you a better command of your medium.
Students will learn to mix colors, use different mediums to achieve various effects, and learn to layer color to bring depth and luminous richness to their work.
Throughout the two days, students will learn to create form using values and light, and recognize, understand and apply the elements of design and composition to improve their work.
Students also will be working with a pallet knife as well as brushes, learning to create rocks and lava effectively.
Penney-Rohner has taught art for 15 years and her work is in the state of Hawaii’s permanent collection, has been featured in magazines and won numerous awards throughout the United States. She is the artist in residence at the Fairmont Orchid and teaches classes there weekly.
The Volcano Art Center is a nonprofit educational organization created in 1974 to promote, develop and perpetuate the artistic and cultural heritage of Hawaii’s people and environment through activities in the visual, literary and performing arts.
