Hello Everyone - We hope you are having a creative winter! Lots going on here at Cochrane Arts Central to keep you busy and intrigued. The Sampler class was a huge success - very busy and students learned the differences and similarities between watercolor, acrylic and oil. Most of the students picked their favorite by the end of the weekend. We will have pictures up on the class page soon.
The Mixed Media workshop is coming up on March 2 and 3. There are a few spots left for the class. The workshop is led by Taygan Crapo (employee of CAC and student of ACAD). She is well educated in mixed media and has a firm knowledge of composition and design. This will be a fun and energetic workshop. Give us a call or email if you have questions or would like to register. Remember, we have all the other regular classes going too. Take a look at the Classes page and read about them on the winter schedule.
We have some exciting news here at Cochrane Arts Central. Three instructors at CAC - Scot Paisley, Hermann Brandt and Marla Blackwell have all been juried in to the Western Art Gallery at the Stampede this year! Scot is in the Auction and Hermann and Marla are in the Gallery. We are all very pleased and looking forward to it.
New products are coming in regularly. We are pursuing adding a new line of oil paints. It is made by Gamblin and it is a fast drying paint. We will offer a workshop introducing this paint so stay tuned for that. I am always checking out brushes as well. I will be trying out a new line myself in the next few days. They have an excellent price point - which we all appreciate! Stay posted for more information soon!
Don't forget Free Fridays - come in on fridays and use the studio at no charge. Friday is a great day to come and be creative with your peers. We have lots of fun. See you soon at Cochrane Arts Central.
Marla and The Team
