About our Featured Poet:

Timothy Huff, who is a Binghamton native and custom window designer by day, discovered his love for poetry during the early times of the COVID-19 pandemic last spring. Sitting on his back deck of his St. Petersburg home in Florida, Huff would daze at the beauty of nature, looking at the bright colors of spring, and soaking in the fresh scents of freshly planted flowers.

After he was invited to join a Facebook group for Haiku poetry to share with his online friends, he knew he didn’t have to look far for his inspirations. His love for nature and poetry resulted in his first published book, The View from My Deck: Haiku Inspired by Nature.

Gouache Workshop with Janie Haskins

Oh Gouache! Workshop with Janie Haskins
$225.00

November 10 and 11at DRV Gallery ‍9:30 am – 4 pm

Gouache is a fun and versatile medium for studies, plein air work, and even studio paintings. You can use it thin like watercolor or thick like oil or acrylic – or both! Cleanup is a snap, making it fabulous for travel.

In this interactive two-day workshop, you’ll learn to confidently use gouache in your own painting adventures. We’ll start off with some exercises to understand gouache’s qualities and quirks, and then you’ll use what you’ve learned to create small paintings.

Topics Include:

  • ‍Managing values (gouache looks different when it dries!)

  • ‍Getting the right paint consistency

  • Mixing colors

  • Creating layers and textures

  • Keeping things fresh and loose

  • Tools and equipment, both in the studio and plein air

Registered attendees will receive a supply list via email in October.

‍Questions? Contact Janie Haskins at haskins.jane@gmail.com or 614-330-5463.‍ ‍
