Julie Bergmann's workshop:

 BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN CRAFT & FINE ART  (W0306)

Introducing traditional fine art mediums and materials to craft style artists. Julie invites you to experiment with Tri-Art Acrylics & Shiva Artist’s Paintstiks Oil Paints to achieve effects not obtainable with entry level or bargain priced materials. Participants will create a figure portrait on a 10" x 10" maple panel, transferring the figure template with Richeson Transfer Paper & graphite art pencils. Mixed media elements will be applied to create a unique piece. 

3:00 - 5:00pm, Friday January 28th, 2011

The cap on these workshops is 50, and to date they are now all over 60% full! Only 17 more days to go!  To register, go to this LINK.

This foray into the wild and crazy crafters world should be a ton of fun, so much pretty, and so much inspiration!  As a primarily abstract painter, I find the process of creating workshops that have a very specific focus is a terrific way to bring a bit more discipline to my usually very loose style.  I appreciate the blend of these two not-so-different art worlds.

CHA...getting my craft on!

Well, no sooner am I back from a flurry of trips abroad doing numerous conferences, shows, demos and workshops, than it's time to start planning for the next series.  Once I get in the rhythm of being home again, and having proper sleeps, I'll start getting excited!  Looking forward though to the next couple of months, when the plan is to not do a whole heck of a lot besides be in the studio, and be in home mode.

Coming up on the last weekend of January 2011, I'll be in L.A. at the CHA winter trade show and convention, giving a couple of workshops.  Check out "What a Relief!" and "Acrylic Impressions", taking place Friday, January 28th, 2011.

Get ready to get your crafty with Tri-Art liquid acrylics and mediums! We're going to make some beautiful art together!

Are you nervous about entering the Fine Art arena? Julie Bergmann will lead you from the functional to the fine in her first CHA workshop, "Bridging the Gap between Craft & Fine Art", on Friday, January 28th, 2011.

Registration is on now at the CHA website, classes fill quickly, so get your name on the list ASAP!!!

Next up....Austin, TX

For my first time in Texas, I'm excited to be attending the Texas Art Teachers Association conference in Austin.  I hear great things about the city, and I'm keen to check it out!  Might even have to get me a pair of boots, and certainly going to be tasting some barbecue!

I will be teaching two workshops this time around, Rheotech: Acrylic Beauty on a Budget with an Eye to the Planet and Art Noise & Solucryl: The Omnipotent Academic Acrylics.

Also look for us in the Jack Richeson & Co. booth on the exhibit floor, where we will be inviting you to create some fabulous and colorific paintings with us!
