Pastel Painting Studio
This two-day workshop is an opportunity to receive individualized instruction in a supportive and inspiring environment. Beginning through advanced levels are welcome. This workshop is an opportunity to learn about the broad range of pastel products and techniques, to further develop your personal style, and embrace creative exploration. Colorful still life arrangements will be our subject.

Day one will begin with a conversation on how to design a strong composition. Our next step will be to make black and white value studies of our subject. Then we will move on to color, looking at the warm and cool contrasts of light and shadow and the effect of saturated and muted hues in describing form and space. You'll have the opportunity to work with acrylic underpainting and on colored papers to explore color interaction. Our session will end with a group critique, offering not only a chance to assess paintings but to share ideas about both concept and craft. Class size is limited.

2-DAY WORKSHOP - SATURDAYS
Times/Dates: Saturdays - October 19 & November 9, 10:00am - 12:00 noon
Ages/Skill Level: Adults, all skill levels
Cost: $85.00  Participants are expected to bring their own camera of any style (digital camera or phone).

This class is open to all people who take pictures. Participants may use any camera — from an old phone to a high-tech digital camera. The focus of this class will not be on technical matters but instead will be to help students improve their vision.

The first class starts with a discussion of projects we will be doing followed by photo walks. Class participants will head out for about an hour to photograph things they can walk to in Cazenovia. There's a lot to see!

After the first class, students will make 4"x6" prints of their photo walk. They may make them at home or use a drug store or other printing location. Students will bring in 10 small prints to share with the class at the second meeting. I will give gentle feedback and encourage students to see what images work and why. It's not magic, and it's not rules-based, but I do believe some pictures work better than others. I will encourage student observations and help you hone in on how to 'make a better picture!'

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR/TEACHER:
pix description Willson Cummer is a landscape photographer, editor and teacher who lives in Fayetteville, NY.

He is fascinated by places where the natural world shares space with humanity. Willson finds the suburbs to be visually-rich places, as they are neither urban nor rural, but have aspects of both.

Waterways like the Erie Canal, which played an important role in Upstate New York's development, are things he likes to explore. Small parks, like those maintained by nearby villages, show people's imperfect but sincere efforts to share and enjoy the natural world.

Willson Cummer has been teaching photography in various venues since 1999. He has taught workshops in photography to both kids and adults at Cazenovia College, Syracuse University, Light Work, Syracuse, NY and the Grunewald Guild in Leavenworth, WA.

His artwork is online at https://www.willsoncummer.com.
