DESCRIPTION:We\’re so delighted to welcome Portland-based painter and teacher Scott Gellatly back to the farm for another two-day dive into plein air painting! This workshop is likely to fill up\, so register early to guaranty your spot! \nThis two-day workshop will explore the fundamentals of plein air painting\, with a focus on strategic color concepts while capturing the light\, atmosphere\, and emotion of the landscape in a bold\, responsive manner. Participants will paint throughout the diverse Plas Newydd property while considering the formal aspects of painting – color\, composition\, movement\, and space. Scott will lead participants in plein air sessions\, as well as color lectures and demonstrations. \nWe plan to be out on the farm as much as possible for this workshop\, so come prepared for the weather! If you have mobility or other accessibility  issues\, please reach out to Abby at arts@pnfarm.com to discuss how we may be able to support you for this field-based event. Additionally\, please feel free to reach out to Abby  if you need to access a full or partial scholarship from the Spirit Lake Scholarship Fund in order to attend the class and/or purchase supplies. \nThere is no materials fee for this workshop\, but there is an extensive collection of supplies you will need to bring in order to participate. If you have questions about items on the list posted below\, please reach out directly to Scott via email. \nScott Gellatly is a Portland-based artist and instructor whose work straddles the line between representation and abstraction. His work has been exhibited nationally and was featured in the February/March 2023 issue of Plein Air Magazine. Scott is represented by LAURA VINCENT DESIGN & GALLERY in Portland. \nMATERIALS LIST \nThis workshop will be focusing on plein air painting in oil or acrylic. \nColor Palette: \n\nTitanium White\nCadmium Yellow Light\nIndian Yellow (Gamblin oils)\, Indian Yellow Hue (Golden acrylics)\nCadmium Orange\nQuinacridone Red (Gamblin oils)\, Primary Magenta (Golden acrylics)\nUltramarine Blue\nCobalt Teal or Turquoise (Gamblin oils or Golden Acrylic)\n\nPainting Panels: \nAmpersand Gessobord panels are my favorite\, and they work well for both oils and acrylics. Their flat\, 1/8” panels are sturdy and easy to travel with. You can easily make your own by cutting hardwood/plywood panels and apply 2 – 3 coats of quality acrylic gesso to the surface. \n7 – 8 @ panels\, sizes 6” x 8” or 8” x 10”. \nWet-panel Carrier: \nThese are more important for oil painters\, as the slower drying rate of oils means you will need to safely transport your finished pieces. I recommend RAYMAR wet panel carriers\, as they are lightweight. Refer to their chart on their website listing the various sized panels their carriers will accommodate. \nOil/Acrylic Painting Brushes: \nFlat sizes 6 & 10. Recommended brand: Princeton Aspen (or similar) \nOther Materials: \n\nPainting medium for oil painting: Gamblin Solvent-Free Gel\nSpray bottle or retarder medium if working in acrylics\nMetal Palette knife\, “teardrop shape” such as RGM S.026. No plastic palette knives.\nBackpack to carry plein air gear\nCamping stool if you prefer to sit.\nRags/paper towels\nBug spray\n\nAdditional Information \nPlease feel free to reach out anytime with any questions you may have regarding the supply list.  URL:https://pnfarmarts.org/event/one-backpack-plein-air-pack-light-and-paint-bold/ CATEGORIES:2D,Forest Walk,Landscape,Painting,Scott Gellatly ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240920T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240920T120000 DTSTAMP:20231226T202354Z CREATED:20231226T202354Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231226T202354Z UID:4927-1726826400-1726833600@pnfarmarts.org SUMMARY:Canopy Time -- September DESCRIPTION:New Date for September! \nIf you pay attention\, you can tell time by the forest canopy—twigs and seeds\, branches and leaves marking seasons with color\, fullness\, sway.  – Abby Braithwaite\, A Portrait of the Artist as a Crone Tree. Canopy Time walks are mostly monthly walks/rolls/rides on Plas Newydd Farm.

Whether you are a new or veteran nature journaler\, come with an open mind\, love of nature\, and permission to question and create. You do not have to be an artist to benifit from nature journalling. We often see beautiful pages of botanical drawings on Pinterest and other social media and feel intimidated. The benefits and essence of nature journalling lie in the process and time spent slowing down to look carefully and build a connection to the world we live in. \nWe will spend time building your  skills from wherever you are in your artistic process\, filling your tool box so you can feeling more confident in expressing your ideas the way you see them. The day will be a balance of building skills to better capture what we see\, and active exploration and observation out in the field. We will work on drawing techniques used for observation\, layout/design\, color\, and use of watercolors.  \nWe believe strongly that nature journaling is one of the most intimate and accessible ways to be in a landscape. You don’t need to be an “Artist” to join us — just come with a willingness to learn\, a desire to observe the world around you and an interest to wonder!  \nPlease bring a lunch and refillable water bottle and anything you need to be comfortable outdoors in early September. Coffee\, tea\, and light snacks will be provided.  \nWe plan to be out on the farm as much as possible for this workshop\, so come prepared for the weather! If you have mobility or other accessibility issues\, please reach out to Abby at arts@pnfarm.com to discuss how we may be able to support you for this field-based event. Additionally\, please feel free to reach out to Abby if you need to access a full or partial scholarship from the Spirit Lake Scholarship Fund in order to attend the class and/or purchase supplies.  \n \nA note on materials: There are two ticket types for this class\, depending whether you need materials or you will provide your own. Please read the following\, and choose the ticket that best reflects your needs.  \n1) Workshop cost + materials includes the workshop cost and all materials needed. They will be ready for you when you arrive and you take them home with you to continue your nature journalling. \n2) Workshop cost only (no materials provided) is just the workshop\, and assumes that you have or will get your own materials.  \nWe do have limited loaner supplies on hand\, so if you need just one or two things from the list\, or you aren’t sure about making an investment just for this class\, please email Abby to discuss and she will guide you to the best ticket option for you.   \n \nMaterials List:\n\nMixed Media Sketchbook with thick pages\, that will accept pen and watercolor\n\nSuggestion: Canson Mixed Media 9×12\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuality Watercolor Set with an assortment of colors\n\nSuggestion: Winsor & Newton Cotman Field Set 14 colors\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatercolor Brush The brush (size 4) that comes  in your travel set is a nice universal size.

It was in school that she decided to combine her passion for art with the need to share that through education. She majored in both printmaking and child development\, continuing on to recieve her Masters in Education with an emphasis on art education. She continued on to teach graduate courses in art education and worked at the LA County Museum of Art before returning home to the beautiful PNW.  \nWhen she returned\, she continued teaching and running her own art studio\, bringing art to both children and adults. Drawing and painting have always been a huge part of her life and how she documents and shares the natural world around her. While raising her family\, photography began to take on a greater and greater role in how she captures the world around her\, especially nature.  Now she is an avid wildlife photographer that loves to immerse herself in nature and bring its beauty to others.  \nMany years ago\, she was introduced to the fabulous work of John Muir Laws\, the guru and driving force of nature journalling. She was instantly drawn in\, seeing an intersection of all the things she loves.  Personally\, she loved the stillness and connection to nature it provided—a perfect platform for closer\, more thoughtful observation and questioning.  Even more importantly\, she was drawn to the important role nature journalling can play in helping people connect with the preciousness and fragility of our rapidly changing world. She believes the most powerful way to inspire people to care for our earth is the help them build meaningful connections with nature\, whether you bring nature’s story to people through photography\, or bring people to nature to connect with its smallest pieces through nature journalling.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://pnfarmarts.org/event/naturejournaling/ CATEGORIES:2D,Abstract art,Crafting,Drop-in,Forest Walk,Landscape,Nature journaling ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240817T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240817T180000 DTSTAMP:20240530T110219Z CREATED:20240530T110219Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240530T110219Z UID:5540-1723881600-1723917600@pnfarmarts.org SUMMARY:Exploring Transitions -- A multi-disciplinary workshop DESCRIPTION:Join Vancouver artist Sharon Svec as we engage with the land and the changing seasons to explore the theme of transitions from many angles.  \nThrough a multidisciplinary arts approach\, workshop attendees will discuss transition\, reflect on transition\, plan an output based on their discussion/reflection\, and execute the output. Participants will have the option to have a recorded live performance at the end of the session. This workshop will serve to support personal\, as well as ecological transition\, with a focus on seasons\, cycles and natural patterns. Participants whose art-form requires specific tools/instruments will need to provide their own for this workshop. Please feel welcome to contact Sharon at sharon@smsvec.com for questions. \nPlease note: This will be an all-day outdoor workshop\, so please come prepared to be in the weather. We will provide light snacks\, water\, tea and coffee throughout the day\, and will have a shade canopy and camp chairs as needed. Participants should pack a lunch\, water bottle\, extra snacks\,  a notebook and writing/drawing tool\, and articles of interest with consideration to transition (whatever has meaning to you and makes you think creatively). \nPlease get in touch via email to arts@pnfarm.com if you have any accessibility needs that we need to be aware of\, or if you would like to access a full or partial scholarship through the Spirit Lake Scholarship Fund. We would love to work with you to make all PN Farm Arts Initiative workshops as accessible as we can\, so don\’t be shy about getting in touch! \nAbout your instructor:  \n \nSharon is an artist with experience in design\, textiles\, communication\, theater and dance. Born and raised in the wilds of Southern Illinois\, she has a great affinity to the natural world. Sharon earned degrees in Visual Communication and Professional Media Practice from Southern Illinois University while side-hustling as a thespian\, receptionist and cartographer. Some of her most favorite creative experiences include the direction of “Onryo of Refuse\,” a butoh inspired performance in 2010\, and having been invited to exhibit her tapestries at the European Roma Institute of Arts in Culture in Berlin (2023). She currently works in the fields of art and design.

This large family farm located alongside the Lewis River has a diverse landscape\, with rolling fields\, mature forests\, old barns\, wild flowers and plenty of watery goodness to draw inspiration from\, and a lovely farmhouse for us to take refuge in. Inspiration can take many forms when working in and around nature\, and any direction that inspires you will be supported in this workshop\, representational or non-representation. We will create one of a kind prints on paper\, monotypes\, with an emphasis on light\, value\, impulse\, experimentation and joy! \n \n\n\nWe will apply and remove ink onto printing surfaces\, (aka plates) with brayers\, cotton cloths\, brushes\, and other tools to make original singular images printed on paper. This workshop will include a combination of instruction\, demonstration and individual work time. A range of additive and reductive monotype techniques will be covered. The workshop is open to all levels\, 18+; no prior experience is necessary. \n\n\nWorkshop materials will be included with the exception of paper. Each participant will begin with some paper to experiment with\, and additional paper will be sold on a per-sheet basis. Each sheet is large enough to print 2 to 12 monotypes\, depending upon the size of your plate. Sheets of high quality printmaking paper cost up to $7.50 each\, plan to budget $15 (or more) for additional paper. We will provide an optional material list prior to the workshop; recommended papers will be listed on the materials list if you prefer to bring your own. \nThe workshop will run from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm each day (Saturday & Sunday). \nLight snacks\, coffee\, tea and water will be available free of charge. Participants should plan to bring lunch for each day\, comfortable shoes for walking and standing\, and layers of clothing for working outside in the fickle spring weather.   \nA $50 materials fee is included in the cost of the ticket for basic materials. See above for more detail on additional materials. \nScholarships are available if cost is a barrier! Please email arts@pnfarm.com to inquire. We received a generous gift to seed our scholarship fund\, and don\’t want to turn anyone away if we can help it!\n*** Please note — Ridgefield is about 45 minutes from most parts of Portland\, and an easy\, pleasant drive against most of the traffic of morning and evening commutes. If you\’d like to stay in the area for the weekend\, please reach out to Abby at abbyb@pnfarm.com for advice about local accommodations.  \n  URL:https://pnfarmarts.org/event/monotypes-with-nanette-wallace/ CATEGORIES:2D,Abstract art,Forest Walk,Landscape,Lisa Ellis,Nanette Wallace,Painting,Printmaking ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240511T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240511T170000 DTSTAMP:20231226T205811Z CREATED:20231226T205811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231226T205811Z UID:4957-1715432400-1715446800@pnfarmarts.org SUMMARY:World Collage Day!

We will use our imaginations\, chance\, and the magic of the sun to create stunning blue and white works of art. \nCyanotype is an alternative photo process which uses chemicals and sunlight to create wonderfully mysterious pictures when rinsed in water! Also known as “sun prints”\, this accessible medium involves placing objects and materials onto treated paper\, becoming blue wherever the sun’s rays have reached it. This process is filled with surprises\, so bring your curiosity\, trust and openness with you to this workshop! \nFacilitator Rachel Mulder (she/her) is an artist and printmaker who indulges in experientiality. She will share this much-beloved practice with you in a hands-on\, exploratory way. We will begin with a wandering tour of the farm where we can gather plant materials and inspiration. Then Rachel will provide a brief demo and share some examples of her work. Each participant will get to create several smaller cyanotypes for the first half of this workshop using high quality hand-coated watercolor paper. After lunch\, we will discuss our experiments from the first half\, Rachel will offer additional techniques to explore\, and participants can create more works. Larger sheets of treated paper will be offered\, including a large scale collaborative piece for us to indulge in! \nWe will utilize plant friends and other natural objects found on the farm\, as well as fabrics\, and an assortment of random objects. Feel empowered to bring your own special treasures\, as long as you don’t mind them baking in the sun for a bit.\nTicket price includes $25 materials fee. Snack offerings of coffee\, tea and baked goods\, with gluten and dairy free options and fruit will be available throughout the day.  Please Bring:  \n\nSack lunch\nWater bottle\nSturdy shoes for walking (electric cart or car available for the tour if needed for accessibility)\nAny treasures you want to use in your cyanotypes\n\nAccess notes: Masks strongly encouraged while indoors\, and Rachel will be wearing hers at all times. The main workspace where we begin our works of art will be indoors\, and we will venture out into the sun to expose and rinse our cyanotypes. Please dress appropriately for hot weather\, sun\, and clothing that will not mind potential water splashes. The space is NOT fully wheel-chair accessible. Please contact Abby at arts@pnfarm.com with accessibility questions as we will endeavor to accommodate you.  \n**We aim to make this an accessible workshop\, so please get in touch at arts@pnfarm.com if the cost is a burden! \nRachel Mulder lives in Portland\, Oregon\, with her two cats\, Opal and Tomasina. She was born in rural Wisconsin and when she was small she spent a lot of time sitting in the grass staring\, obsessing about animals\, watching cartoons and peeling her skin off. A process-oriented artist\, her work vacillates back and forth between meticulous obsession and playful experimentation. She makes drawings using a variety of media that often yield printmakerly textures – residual effects from earning her BFA in Printmaking at Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design in 2007. \n \n  URL:https://pnfarmarts.org/event/sun-transformations-cyanotype-workshop/ CATEGORIES:2D,Abstract art,Cyanotype,Forest Walk,Rachel Mulder ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230908T103000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230908T123000 DTSTAMP:20230512T024621Z CREATED:20230512T024621Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230512T024621Z UID:4510-1694169000-1694176200@pnfarmarts.org SUMMARY:Canopy Time Art Walk/Roll/Ride DESCRIPTION:If you pay attention\, you can tell time by the forest canopy—twigs and seeds\, branches and leaves marking seasons with color\, fullness\, sway.  — Abby Braithwaite\, A Portrait of the Artist as a Crone TreeCanopy Time walks are mostly monthly walks/rolls/rides on Plas Newydd Farm.
