Hi Janey,
My name is Leah Markham. You know my husband, Jerry, who has taught a
few workshops for the Calgary Sketch Club. I am contacting you because I
was told you organize workshops for the Sketch Club so I wanted to let
you know about a new workshop that Jerry and I are offering that your
members may be interested in.
Typically there are either painting workshops or workshops on how to
promote your work, but not the combination. Jerry and I offer a 2-day
workshop that encompasses both. How it works is half of the group paints
with Jerry the first day while the other half is with me learning the
business of art, then the groups switch the following day. Here are
details of what each of us teach in the workshop:
A Day With Carlson – taught by Jerry
Markham (www.jerrymarkham.com)
In this one day workshop we will be delving into ideas John F. Carlson
lays out in his timeless book John Carlson’s Guide to Landscape
Painting. Carlson’s ideas have been used for years by many painters and
yet I hear often that his book is difficult to read, which it is. So I
have developed some exercises to help simplify some of the main points
in his book. We will begin with a painting demonstration to illustrate
what we will be learning, followed by a few drawing exercises then a
painting session of your own to further illustrate the concepts of
Composition, Value, and the important difference between Atmospheric
Perspective and Linear Perspective.
This class is suitable for beginners to advanced painters in acrylic,
watercolour and oil as it involves tools and information that will help
make your landscape paintings more dynamic and authentic no matter which
medium you use.
Business Of Art – taught by Leah
Markham (www.artmarketingbusiness.com)
This workshop encompasses an overview and introduction of a number of
topics that contribute to the success of an artist. Topics covered will
include:
-
how to build an
effective website and online marketing strategy
-
marketing
materials every artist needs and how to use them
-
techniques to
promote your work & places your work can be shown
-
how to approach
galleries
-
what to expect
from galleries and what they expect from you
-
cultivating
relationships with collectors
-
the importance
of keeping an inventory of your work
If you think
this is something that would be beneficial or of interest to Sketch Club
members we would be happy to come there to teach it. If you would prefer
just a painting workshop or just a workshop on the business of art, that
is an option as well. If you would like further details, please give me
a call.
Thank you,
Leah Markham
