What stirs in the night in the desert? Join us and Deborah Stein as we stir up and paint the Northern New Mexico desert on a summertime night: the trillion stars and strawberry moon, the shimmering light and infinite space. We’ll create real and imagined compositions of mountain, arroyo, road, and river and draw and abstract all the alive things that lurk, sleep, dream, bloom and grow in the beautiful nighttime deserts of Northern New Mexico.
You’ll get to enjoy the many ways of creating the glow of moonlight and the many ways to depict stars glittering in the dark as we explore the beauty, subtleties and differences of LDBA’s sparkling metallic, glow-in-the-dark and fluorescent paint lines with Deborah's Quiet Night Palette. With fun prompts and new watercolor techniques and we’ll also try new approaches to picture-making mixing watercolor with gouache, graphite and soluble color pencils to make your inspired nighttime scenes and painted stories.
All skill levels welcome and materials provided but feel free to bring your favorite paintbrush!
Deborah Stein is an artist and a writer working in the Embudo Valley in New Mexico and in NYC. She studied art and the passing on of tradition with a toymaker family in Northern India, worked with NYC school kids as a museum educator at the Museum of Arts & Design and has traveled and taught alternative arts education workshops about seeing and translating the world in new ways for adults and children for a lifetime.
