ArtTreks – Tuscany, Italy
Plein Air Painting & Photography Workshop
Sept. 6-14, 2013
Led by Niki Gulley & Scott Williams
Early Registration Deadline for a $500 Savings: Jan. 11
Final Registration Deadline: March 1
Join us once more as our path takes us to the medieval towns, cypress tree-lined roads and glorious sun drenched splendor of the rolling hills that are Tuscany in the fall. Whether you are a painter or photographer, this unique workshop has been designed to allow you to hone your skills and expand your creativity, all while you further your artistic voice. Choosing which aspect interests you, we will help guide you to capture the architecture and breathtaking vistas flooded with their extraordinary quality of light, on either canvas or film.
Imagine the inspiration derived from strolling the narrow cobble streets of the hill towns or taking in the panoramic views from their outer walls as the sun sweeps across the landscape spread out before you. Start your own renaissance by standing in the shadows where the masters once painted, all while experiencing the grandeur of Tuscany first hand. Capture the rich fall colors offset against cobalt blue skies, the rows of earth-hued vines, ripe with their succulent grape harvest, all while being warmed, literally, under a Tuscan sun.
Tuscany’s warmth is in more than the countryside, it’s within its people as you will discover while sampling the region’s abundant wines, savory fruit and amazing varieties of cheese. There is nothing like getting to know a culture and experiencing a sense of place. It is a journey for the senses, not only visually and intellectually, but for the palate as well.
Niki will conduct the Plein-Air Painting Workshop from different picturesque locations daily, teaching through a combination of demos, discussions, assistance and critiques. Sessions will be broken into different morning and afternoon locations, with plenty of time in between for shopping, sightseeing or to dine al fresco for a leisurely lunch.
Scott will take the photographers on a daily walking tour through the winding streets of the hills town and into the countryside surrounding them. You will have the opportunity to experience Tuscany through your lens as Scott guides you to use your camera to define what you see while achieving your own artistic vision. As with the painters, there will be daily destinations with time allowances for exploring on your own. |

Last year more than 1,800 students took more than 500 classes and workshops at CAC in such areas as figurative and creative clay sculpture, ceramics, drawing, fused glass, jewelry, metal sculpture, mixed media, mosaic, painting, photography, printmaking and stone sculpture. Most of our instructors hold either a Bachelor or Master of Fine Arts and have exhibited on a national or international basis.
The Creative Arts Center of Dallas is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, located at 2360 Laughlin Drive, Dallas, Texas 75228 (Join mailing list) Excerpted from the November newsletter of the Creative Arts Center in Dallas:
CAC is gearing up for the new year and our latest brochure will be coming out mid-November detailing classes for Sessions 1 and 2. Some new instructors who will be adding a refreshing new outlook to some of CAC's classic classes include Cathy Drennan, co-owner of Cohn Drennan Contemporary on Dragon Street, who will be teaching the Painting Fundamentals class covering techniques, color and approaches to form and intent. In the Ceramics Department, Nathan Portnoy, MFA Candidate at the University of Dallas, will be instructing a class focusing on throwing ceramics on the wheel. Lastly, long time and much beloved CAC instructor Terri Thoman will be returning to CAC's Printmaking Department teaching Basic Printmaking.
In 2013, CAC is offering 50 workshops, including some covering new concepts! Sally Ackerman, aka KWitta, will be leading a Yarn Bombing 101 workshop in preparation for National Yarn Bombing Day in June, 2013. In addition, Sara Masetti will be teaching a workshop on DSLR Video Making to pave the way to video art. In the Photography Department, CAC will be bringing in Texas Photo Classes to lead several workshops on photography for professional artists covering concepts such as Photographing your Art and creating a Portfolio. Shannon Brunskill will offer a workshop in Pate de Verre and Rebecca Collins will present a Mixed Media Mosaic Monster workshop! Meanwhile, Dave Kramer will be leading both a Color Theory workshop and a Life Casting workshop. Lastly, CAC will be hosting Elder Jones who is travelling to Dallas solely to offer a Wet Carved Concrete Sculpting workshop with us!

Joyce Hicks Workshop
Transforming the Landscape in Watercolor
Workshop emphasis is on techniques and strategies for transforming ordinary scenes into extraordinary ones with watercolor; scenes that reach out and connect with viewers. I teach simple easy to learn methods that appeal to beginners as well as seasoned artists looking for renewed inspiration and insights into new ways of thinking. You learn from clear explanations about the reasoning behind artistic decisions and visually from step by step demonstrations. You learn to distill and process scenes from inspiration to finished work of art becoming more comfortable with the medium in the process. Once technical aspects of watercolor have been mastered you too will begin to paint from that sacred place that resides within each of us.
I bring my passion and love for teaching to inspire and motivate in a fun, fast-paced workshop. Following are a few of the topics covered in my workshop.
- atmospheric perspective in the landscape
- simplifying and streamlining scenes
- working towards personal style by developing a visual language
- steps for building strong compositions
- painting “relationships” instead of “things”
- seven important design principles for creating exciting paintings
- working with photographs, sketch books and color studies
- planning strategies that will allow you to paint spontaneously and with confidence
- daily lectures and demonstrations
- lots of one-on-one instruction
Workshop Dates: 4/16/2013 - 4/20/2013
Location: Saint John's Episcopal Church, Fort Worth
Workshop chair: Shubhangi Mantri shubhangimantri@hotmail.com
Fees: SWA Members $300.oo; nonmembers $350.00. $75 nonrefundable deposit.
